The UAE is accused of sending weapons, drones, and battlefield technology directly to the RSF. They are reportedly recruiting and transporting Colombian mercenaries through the Bosaso port in Somalia. UAE-funded hospital in Bosaaso is treating RSF fighters injured in battle.

The RSF is not acting alone. They're being armed and supplied by foreign powers. The UAE is funding the worst humanitarian crisis in the world in order to steal Sudanese resources and gold. There's a rising cholera crisis, 100s of thousands have been killed, millions are starving & displaced.

In El Fasher, death has become a daily headline, and the survivors continue to live without water, food, or safety.
What is happening in El Fasher is not just a war, but a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe, a continuing social genocide where civilians are targeted simply for being alive.

Yes it’s a really good point. Thank you for formulating it, Jonathan. It seems that an uncritical celebration of Mamdani’s success will deflect our attention from several important issues such as anti-Black racism and the persistence of casteism in South Asian communities.
And Mamdani has a good way into addressing our collective anti-Blackness, with his familial history in Uganda. But course this is double-edged, some of his popularity it seems based around misunderstanding of the colonial role played by Asians against Ugandans. Can't win
One critical conversation I’ll be tracking during Zohran Mamdani’s term, in addition to his politics on Palestine, will be his implication in refusing enduring caste hierarchies and anti-Black racism in South Asian communities in NY (& across the world). He has yet to address these two points.
