Israel and UAE: Partners in genocide

“Arabs may have the oil, but we have the matches” — Arian Sharon

COMPLICITY of Arab regimes in Israel's war against Hamas and resulting genocide in Gaza is yet to be told in full. However, some facts have come to light, and they need be understood when discussing the Arab regimes’ endorsement of Trump’s 20-point “Comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict”.

While death, devastation and genocide in Gaza had received worldwide condemnation including from UN and provoked worldwide pro-Palestinian protests tarnished by Western media as antisemitism, there is a second theatre of war threatening to escalate into a wider conflict in Sudan and in which UAE among the Arab regimes in particular seems to be involved directly by supplying weapons and finance to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an outgrowth of the notorious Janjaweed militia which terrorised Sudanese communities in the 2003 Darfur conflict, and currently fighting against the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).

It is developing into a regional war between RSF backed by UAE and SAF by Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Already, according to UN more than 62,000 people had fled their homes since the fall of El Fasher in North Darfur, and the atrocities inflicted by RSF appear to be taking shape of a genocide against non-Arab communities such as Masalit, Zaghawa and Fur. UAE weapons manufactured in UK are found to be flowing openly through Somalia’s Bossaso airport and clandestinely via the porous borders of Libya, Chad and Uganda.
