The Spin

The latest atrocities are also the result of the UAE's reckless support for Sudan's genocidal RSF militia, which represents a catastrophic foreign policy failure that demands immediate accountability. British-made weapons are now fueling mass killings through UAE supply chains, exposing how Western arms sales enable atrocities. The UAE has systematically armed and funded the RSF's brutal campaign while Western allies turn a blind eye to protect lucrative defense contracts and Gulf investment flows.

As Sudan’s latest escalation grips global attention, President Trump is taking the lead where others have stalled. Instead of empty condemnations and endless summits, Washington is driving quiet but determined diplomacy — pressing both sides toward a verifiable ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian corridors. By combining pressure with pragmatism, Trump’s approach shows that peace comes not from hesitation, but from strength and resolve backed by clear American leadership.

Sudan’s war has descended into a relentless struggle for survival, with neither side able to claim victory. Cities like Khartoum, Nyala, and El Fasher see front lines shift again and again as both factions trade control through shelling and siege. The RSF relies on urban entrenchment and looting to sustain itself, while the army turns to airstrikes and local militias that often terrorize civilians. Across the country, communities trapped between them see not protectors but predators.
