🇺🇸 🇸🇩 🇦🇪 Washington Tries to Correct Course on Sudan’s Civil War
🔶️ "Some US lawmakers and officials privately remain deeply frustrated at the Biden Admin's role in Sudan’s botched transition to democracy, the collapse of which sparked the conflict. These officials feel the admin wasted valuable time reviving peace talks."
🔶️ The UAE supplying the RSF “would be a grave reputational risk for the UAE and put the longstanding close partnership with the United States into question,” the lawmakers wrote to Emirati Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Ten Democratic lawmakers—led by Rep. Sara Jacobs, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Africa subcommittee—signed the letter. “Members of Congress are paying attention to the UAE’s actions in Sudan. Most importantly, we are concerned that the UAE is at odds with the efforts of Sudanese civilians, the region, and the broader international community to stop the fighting,” they wrote.
