A certain crowd loves to use Sudan as a cudgel against people opposed to the genocide in Gaza.
Are those people talking about Khalifa Haftar? Fly Sky Air IL-76s flying to Chad? Small Canadian arms dealers?
No. But I am. Read more here.

Using the Sterling Arms XLCR as an illustrative example, I discuss the web of money and guns that the UAE operates to fuel the RSF's activities in Sudan, where it has been credibly accused of committing genocide. Until something is done about this, the killing will only continue.
