As the UK prepared to host a global summit on bringing peace to Sudan, the RSF paramilitary began a ‘genocidal’ massacre in Zamzam refugee camp. But when reports emerged of the killings, London held its silence. For the first time, using intelligence reports and witness testimony, we piece together what occurred during the April atrocity – and why it was not stopped

    The atrocities in Sudan are dangerously underreported in Western Media.

    This comes as the UAE are a key ally of the RSF, along with Russian Wagner mercenaries. The UAE are extracting hundreds of tons of gold from Sudan and other African countries every year. The UAE deliberately escalate and prolong violent conflicts to get access to resources at a discount. Resources they then often sell to Europe and the US.

    The UAE are also a key ally of Israel and support Israels onslaught against the Palestinian people, helping to facilitate logistics from and to Israel and suppressing public support for the rights of the Palestinian people.

    Finally the UAE is hailed by Western nations for its “war against terror” stance in which it outpaces many Western nations, while also exporting a twisted idea of Islam that calls for blind obedience to nation state leaders and passivity in the face of injustice and atrocities. Instead of demanding an end to the deliberate starvation of millions of people in Gaza and Sudan, UAE controlled “scholars” call for the people to suffer in silence.
