The UAE is buying the West's silence over its 'race war' in Sudan, says top generalLieutenant General Yasser al-Atta, a member of Sudan’s governing Sovereignty Council and the military’s second in command, told journalists that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed has launched a race war against the Sudanese people.
“They entered people’s houses in Khartoum and other cities. They loot and destroy everything: hospitals, electricity, water supply, everything that keeps people alive,” he said.
But Atta said the “world has been silent regarding all the RSF has done in Sudan” despite “social media and technological tools” which enabled the paramilitaries’ crimes to be seen and understood.
The reason, stated Atta, is that “this silence was bought by the power of the UAE’s money”.
“As a result of the world not watching, mercenaries were imported to our country and the UAE were allowed to do it,” he said.
MEE has previously detailed how the UAE has transported Colombian mercenaries to the RSF through an air base in Somalia.
Atta said the paramilitaries have hired fighters from as far afield as Ukraine, too, as well as African countries such as Niger, Mali, Chad and South Sudan.
