Why the US is unable to restrain the UAE in Sudan

Description

“The UAE have monopolised the trade of minerals from Africa, mostly gold, on which Russian firms rely to advance their interests across the continent. Likewise, the UAE controls the entire illegal arms trade into Sudan that is benefitting the RSF through Uganda and Chad,” Andreas Krieg, Associate Professor at Kings College London, told The New Arab.

He added that this strategy not only strengthens the UAE’s position but also makes it an indispensable partner for Russia’s policy in Africa, which relies on the networks Abu Dhabi has created in Sudan.
