The Kurdish-British politician Nadhim Zahawi, who has joined the UK Reform Party, is seen as a key fixer for Masrour Barzani, helping arrange contacts and business ties with the Bin Zayed leadership in Abu Dhabi. Zahawi was present during Masrour’s recent visit with MBZ, during a UAE minister’s visit to Erbil, and even more recently when Areen Masrour Barzani travelled to Abu Dhabi to attend a football match. When KRG oil was reportedly being smuggled until recently via Iran to the UAE, a reliable source said Zahawi was among the key intermediaries who helped find buyers and then helped advise how to reroute and reinvest the revenue, especially given the UAE’s role as a financial hub for investment into Europe and the UK as well but also in the UAE itself. Zahawi’s close ties to Abu Dhabi are also said to have helped his move to the Reform Party, since its leader, Nigel Farage, is likewise reported to have strong links to the UAE’s rulers. Farage was, notably, at the same Abu Dhabi F1 event in December that Masrour attended. That does not mean the two met, but it places them increasingly within the same UAE-centred network. Masrour and his sons’ ties to Abu Dhabi’s rulers appear close enough that they spent their New Year holiday there. This is not necessarily promising, given the growing UAE–Saudi rivalry, where choosing sides could become a liability. It could also place Masrour and his son Areen, who is now reportedly befriending the children of Abu Dhabi’s rulers, on a track that might put them on the opposite side to that of Turkey’s interests. Either way, the Barzani–MBZ relationship is something that deserves closer scrutiny.

UAE TRAINS COLOMBIAN MERCENARIES TO SUPPORT GENOCIDE IN SUDAN A damning Human Rights Watch report titled “From Bogotá to El Fasher” has exposed a highly organised pipeline funneling Colombian mercenaries into Sudan to support the g*nocidal Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. The investigation reveals that hundreds of Colombian mercenaries were hired by an Abu Dhabi-based security firm called Global Security Services Group. These soldiers were transited directly through the UAE, where they also received specialized military training, before being deployed to fight alongside the RSF. According to HRW, the Colombian mercenaries testified that their passports were not even checked when transiting through the UAE. Instead, they were taken straight to Emirati military bases to be trained by UAE nationals. Once shipped to Sudan, these mercenaries were reportedly used to train new RSF recruits, many of whom were young children. Mausi Segun, Director of HRW’s Africa Division, stated that this “adds to a growing body of evidence that the UAE provides military support to the RSF.” Worse still, these mercenaries were geolocated inside the city of Al-Fashir, where the RSF perpetrated mass atrocities that the UN declared bore “the hallmarks of g*nocide.” While the UAE continues to issue denials, the trail of complicity is undeniable. The security firm is Emirati, the mercenaries are Colombian, but the g*nocidal devastation belongs entirely to the people of Sudan.

Secretary Rubio is too scared to answer this, but it’s clear to me: Trump is personally profiting from deals in the UAE while he’s selling them over $1 billion in arms sales despite the fact that they are funding a genocide in Sudan. That's not just bad policy, it's corruption.

Sudan Confronts the UAE at the UN: Al-Harith Idriss Exposes Abu Dhabi’s Role in Fueling War At today’s United Nations session, Sudan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Al-Harith Idriss, delivered a forceful response to the UAE’s attempts to manipulate the narrative surrounding the war in Sudan. The session saw repeated exchanges between the two delegations, with Sudan directly accusing the UAE of fueling the war by funding and arming the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed), while the UAE scrambled to deflect responsibility. The UAE’s Opening Statement: A False Show of Neutrality The UAE representative began by expressing concern over the suffering of the Sudanese people, highlighting the urgent need for humanitarian aid and calling for stronger mechanisms to protect civilians. The speech was carefully crafted to present the UAE as a neutral party, advocating for a ceasefire and negotiations between both sides of the conflict. However, while Abu Dhabi attempted to position itself as a peace broker, the entire world knew that it was a key player in the war, not merely an external observer. Rather than addressing its well-documented role in fueling the war, the UAE attempted to shift the blame entirely onto "two warring generals." The representative condemned the violence, called for unrestricted humanitarian access, and even suggested adding conflict-related sexual violence as an independent criterion in the UN sanctions system. Yet, the very crimes the UAE claimed to denounce were being committed by the militia it continues to support. Al-Harith Idriss Responds: Exposing the UAE’s Criminal Role Al-Harith Idriss, Sudan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, wasted no time in dismantling the UAE’s façade of neutrality. Addressing the council, he delivered an unfiltered truth: the UAE is not a bystander in this war—it is an instigator. He accused Abu Dhabi of igniting and prolonging the war in Sudan, not out of any genuine concern for peace, but to occupy Sudan, seize its resources, and establish control through its proxies. His response was clear and backed by evidence. Idriss pointed to UN reports, congressional testimonies, and investigative findings that confirm the UAE’s support for the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed). He detailed how Emirati drones and weapons have been used in at least 188 bombing raids in Darfur, how UAE aircraft have landed on dirt runways in Nyala to supply arms, and how Abu Dhabi has been using Chad as a staging ground for further attacks. He also exposed the fact that while the UAE claimed to be offering humanitarian assistance, its financial support was in fact being funneled into purchasing weapons for the militia. Sudan’s representative did not stop there. He called out the UAE for attempting to whitewash its involvement by referring vaguely to "foreign elements" in Sudan, when the only foreign actor arming and funding the militia is the UAE itself. He challenged the UN Security Council to explicitly name the UAE and hold it accountable for the destruction it has caused. The UAE’s Retaliation: Deflection and Denial In response, the UAE representative took the floor again, this time resorting to outright dismissal of Sudan’s accusations. The UAE accused Sudan of spreading "misinformation" and of using the UN platform to deflect from its own role in the conflict. With feigned indignation, the UAE insisted it was not involved in the war and was not taking sides, repeating the claim that "lies remain lies, no matter how often they are repeated." The UAE also sought to put the blame back on Sudan, questioning why the Sudanese Armed Forces had not agreed to a ceasefire and suggesting that the real obstacle to peace was Sudan’s refusal to engage in negotiations. It was a predictable attempt to divert attention from the core issue—Abu Dhabi’s direct role in sustaining the war. Al-Harith Idriss Strikes Back: The War Will Not End While the UAE Arms the Militia Unmoved by the UAE’s deflections, Al-Harith Idriss took the floor once again. He reiterated that Sudan was not making baseless allegations but presenting documented evidence that the UAE has fueled the war by equipping and financing the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed). He reminded the council that Sudan had submitted a 74-page official complaint detailing the UAE’s role, citing reports from neutral institutions and testimony presented to the U.S. Congress. Idriss made it clear that the war would not stop while the UAE continued to support the militia. The Sudanese Armed Forces were fighting to reclaim the country from an armed group backed by a foreign power, not engaging in a meaningless internal dispute. He called on the UN to stop pretending this was a conflict between internal factions and recognize it for what it truly is: a foreign-backed attempt to destabilize Sudan and seize control of its resources. The UAE’s Last Word: A Desperate Attempt to Save Face Despite the overwhelming evidence against it, the UAE insisted on having the final word. Its representative once again accused Sudan of misrepresenting the situation, claiming that if Sudan’s leadership truly wanted peace, it would agree to a ceasefire and engage in dialogue rather than continuing military operations. The UAE accused Sudan of blocking humanitarian aid and attempting to spread "disinformation" to shift blame. Sudan’s Stand: No Peace While the UAE Fuels War The message from Sudan was clear: this war is not about two generals—it is about a nation resisting a foreign-backed occupation. The UAE has spent billions funding and arming a terrorist militia while pretending to call for peace. But Sudan sees through the deception. Sudan left no room for doubt—the war will only end when the UAE ceases its support for the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed). Until then, Sudan will continue to fight, not just for its land, but for its sovereignty, its people, and its future. #Sudan #UAEKillsSudanesePeople

#WATCH | Dubai, UAE | On his visit to Dubai, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "I arrived in the UAE yesterday. So this morning, I met with Sheikh Mohammed, the President of the UAE. I brought with me a message from Prime Minister Modi, and our conversation focused on our strategic relationship and its various initiatives, such as energy, economic trade, and the energy and trade relationship. The UAE is a major partner for us, so we discussed that. We also discussed other topics. But one of the main points was our Indian community in the UAE, in Abu Dhabi, elsewhere, and in Dubai. At the time of the recent war, their safety and well-being were a major issue. People in India were also concerned. As soon as I arrived yesterday, I met with representatives of the community. I shared their experiences and feelings with the President of the UAE. He also wanted me to share the feedback I received. I did that as well. I think my visit to the UAE was a good one. I discussed this topic with the UAE leadership, including the Crown Prince of Dubai, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Defence Minister, who were present at the meeting today. Yesterday, I had a detailed discussion with the Foreign Minister, Sheikh Abdullah. There's a lot of diplomacy going on these days, and the situation here is quite complex, so we discussed it openly. Overall, I'm happy that this visit happened at the right time and that the dialogue between strategic partners was as open as it usually is."

🎥🇸🇩 Senior U.S. Official Unaware of UAE-Ethiopia Base to Support Genocidal Rapid Support Forces In a Senate hearing on April 21, State Department Bureau of African Affairs senior official Nick Checker admitted he was unfamiliar with Yale’s (Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at YSPH) reporting that shows using satellite imagery evidence of UAE-Ethiopian military cooperation to support Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. The support has only increased since, with new strikes in Khartoum reported in the past week, with drones flown directly from Ethiopia. The official also declined to specifically call out the UAE by name or commit to doing more to pressure Abu Dhabi directly, despite the White House’s close ties to the UAE and despite having concluded that the RSF is committing genocide in Sudan. When asked if ending Sudan’s civil war should be a U.S. priority, the official said “absolutely.” (Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. April 21.)

Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi, called President Trump’s comments on the 2018 murder of the journalist “disturbing” and is demanding a transcript of the conversation between the president and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump said Tuesday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS, "knew nothing" about the murder, despite a 2021 intelligence report finding bin Salman ordered the killing. "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it and we can leave it at that," Trump said. MBS had said, "It's painful and it's a huge mistake, and we are doing our best that will never happen again."

Senator Chris Van Hollen: We are witnessing a humanitarian disaster in Sudan. RSF has been a particularly murderous group. In fact, it's the only party to this conflict that the United States government has determined is committing genocide in Sudan. The primary supporter of the murderous RSF has been the United Arab Emirates, the UAE. And we need to make it clear to the UAE that we will not tolerate them fueling these massacres, this genocide. I, along with 20 of my colleagues, have been urging Secretary Rubio and the Trump administration to say that we're going to pause U.S. arms sales to the UAE, so long as they are arming this murderous, genocidal group, the RSF.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has authorized a FULL military response if Iran attacks again. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with President Trump, who offered full support for their response. CNN: “I want to go back to that breaking news just in to CNN about Saudi Arabia. It says that it is prepared to respond if Iran continues its retaliatory attack.” “CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson joins us now. What have you learned Nic?” NIC ROBERTSON: “Yeah, this is a really new and big step by the crown prince here to authorize the possibility of Saudi response if Iran attacks Saudi Arabia again.” “He called their attacks yesterday, and in the early hours of today, cowardly, he said that these attacks by Iran were cowardly because Iran knew that Saudi airspace was not being used to attack Iran. And this has incensed him.” “There have been attacks around the capital here that have been intercepted. There was an attack near a military airfield in the north of the country. There have been attacks further east much closer to the Persian Gulf, much closer to Iran.” “They’ve been repelled so far. But the crown prince has said that because of Iran’s actions, he is putting the country, Saudi Arabia’s security first. The safety of its territory, the safety of its citizens, the safety of its residents, he’s putting those things first.” “And for that reason, he says, he is authorizing the right and the military here to respond if they are attacked by Iran.” “And also, we heard from the foreign ministry here on their Twitter feed last night that the crown prince had a telephone conversation with President Trump.” “And in that conversation, the crown prince had full support from President Trump…for how they should respond.”

What have you learned Nic?” NIC ROBERTSON: “Yeah, this is a really new and big step by the crown prince here to authorize the possibility of Saudi response if Iran attacks Saudi Arabia again.” “He called their attacks yesterday, and in the early hours of today, cowardly, he said that these attacks by Iran were cowardly because Iran knew that Saudi airspace was not being used to attack Iran. And this has incensed him.” “There have been attacks around the capital here that have been intercepted. There was an attack near a military airfield in the north of the country. There have been attacks further east much closer to the Persian Gulf, much closer to Iran.” “They’ve been repelled so far. But the crown prince has said that because of Iran’s actions, he is putting the country, Saudi Arabia’s security first. The safety of its territory, the safety of its citizens, the safety of its residents, he’s putting those things first.” “And for that reason, he says, he is authorizing the right and the military here to respond if they are attacked by Iran.” “And also, we heard from the foreign ministry here on their Twitter feed last night that the crown prince had a telephone conversation with President Trump.” “And in that conversation, the crown prince had full support from President Trump…for how they should respond.”

Who is the president for Saudi Arabia.” Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman: “[Ronald] Reagan, he’s one of the historical presidents that had close ties with Saudi Arabia.” President Trump: “But does Trump blow them all away?” Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman: “It’s out of the league, Mr. President.” President Trump: “And Trump doesn’t give a fist bump. I grabbed that hand. "I don't give a hell where that hand's been… Remember Biden, he travels for 20 hours and gives a fist bump. No, when you get out of the plane and you have the future king and a man who's one of the most respected people in the world, you shake his hand — you don't give him a fist bump.”

This is the UAE’s narrative on the Sudan civil war: The situation on the ground shows that Sudan’s conflict cannot be solved militarily. The UAE aligns with the QUAD’s roadmap: a humanitarian truce that leads to a permanent ceasefire and a civilian-led government that is independent of both warring factions. The UAE condemns all attacks against civilians, including RSF atrocities in El Fasher and violations committed by both sides across Sudan. It calls on SAF, the Hamas of Africa, and the RSF to stop targeting civilians, stop blocking humanitarian aid, and face full international accountability for crimes committed. The UAE also highlights that one of the warring parties continues to attack markets, villages, and hospitals while ignoring global calls for a truce, and that this behaviour is consistent with its past of harbouring terrorists and shielding individuals indicted for genocide. The UAE stresses its long-standing support for Sudan and announces its recent pledge of an additional 100 million dollars for humanitarian aid in El Fasher, reaffirming its readiness to do even more. #الامارات_مع_السودان

Rep. Eugene Vindman is calling on the Trump administration to release the transcript of a "concerning" 2019 phone call between President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman after the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. "The Khashoggi family and the American people deserve to know what was said on that call," Vindman said Friday at a news conference on Capitol Hill. Vindman said he reviewed the call while working as a legal adviser to the National Security Council during Trump's first term. "Out of all the calls with foreign leaders that I reviewed, two stood out as the most concerning," he said. "The first is well known, the call with [Ukrainian] President [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy that led to Trump's first impeachment. The second is a call between Mr. Trump and Mohammed bin Salman." On Thursday, Vindman, along with 37 other House Democrats, sent a letter to Trump demanding that he release the transcript. The move comes after Trump hosted the crown prince, who is the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, at the White House earlier this week. During that visit, Trump dismissed the U.S. intelligence community’s finding that the crown prince approved the plan to kill Khashoggi in 2018. "Given President Trump's disturbing and counterfactual defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman this week, I felt compelled to speak up on behalf of the Khashoggi family and the country that I serve," Vindman said.

🧵This is a thread on UAE’s illicit Arms supply operation to its proxy RSF militia; which is currently committing genocide in Sudan amongst other mass atrocities. The UAE’s UN representative starts of his speech by gaslighting the chamber claiming what they are delivering is aid to Sudan. We know this to be a lie; the UAE has consistently used promises of Aid to cover up its arms supply operation to the proxy genocidal RSF militia it is sponsoring in Sudan. The first clear evidence of this emerged when Ugandan customs inspectors found that a plane that was documented as carrying humanitarian aid for Sudanese refugees was in fact carrying weapons. After that incident senior Ugandan officials ordered cargo inspectors not to inspect UAE cargo planes heading to Chad. This report by Africa stream details what happened. #Sudan
