UAE backed mercenary army , when you have Colombian ex military , Ukranian(?) , Libyan forces with the active collabaration of neigbouring countries like Kenya,Somalia and Chad - in the movt of weapons/fighters and looting of mineral resources. Calling it a 'civil' war is a misstatement. All conducted under the perview of the UAE which has been heavily lobbying the EU and US to turn a blind eye to its activities as long as it stays the course and fronts more in the 'Abraham Accords'.

No, it's Africans killing Africans themselves. Most Emiratis don't give a crap what's happening around the world either. They have their own. Thousands of companies have their headquarters in Dubai like Halliburton etc. UAE doesn't manufacture weapons or sell them. There are many foreign weapons manufacturers based there. China, USA, Europe, Israel are probably some of the world's largest arms dealers and they distribute to everyone. The US sent almost $25 billion of weapons to Israel in the past 3 years. If stuff is passing through UAE ports, then that's another thing. And no one gives a crap about Sudan's gold either. UAE has had a huge gold market for a long time and some of the largest gold sellers are Indian companies based there.
