“The United Arab Emirates (UAE) may be the most significant foreign player supporting the war. The US and the UN have found credible evidence that the UAE is providing military assistance to the RSF, in the form of weekly weapons shipments routed through neighboring Chad. The UAE has consistently denied those accusations. In December, members of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee sent a letter to the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs urging them to reconsider its support of the RSF. Only weeks ago did Congress introduce a bill to restrict exports of certain weapons to the UAE. Tensions around the conflict in Gaza may complicate the US’s ability to apply real pressure on the UAE, Simon said.”

With all due respect to the auto mod: It’s an open secret that UAE are feeding the conflict.
The US Treasury just sanctioned 7 Dubai-based companies for their involvement.
The Africa Report has a comprehensive series detailing the UAE’s heavy involvement and political influence in the Horn of Africa, including their significant control of ports.
However, you don’t permit links to the Africa Report or to many of the sites actually covering this connection, what UAE hopes to gain and/or that comment on the open secret of UAE’s involvement in the conflict or its arms shipments.
The UAE, officially, denies all involvement in supplying arms and support to the RSF.
