Saudis and Emirati are not on the same side ? / What about J.D. Vance ?

Have you wondered why the Saudis and Emirati are not on the same side, yet go in the same direction?

The UAE and Saudi Arabia are not in direct, open war with each other in Sudan, but they are fighting a proxy war by backing opposing sides. The UAE is the primary supporter of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), while Saudi Arabia, along with Egypt, aligns with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).

This proxy struggle has worsened the conflict, with UAE-backed RSF forces facing accusations of significant human rights violations, including crimes that some say amount to genocide.

The UAE is the primary destination for most of Sudan’s gold, with 50-70% of it smuggled there to fund the civil war. The paramilitary RSF controls many mines and exports the gold to buy weapons and fuel, while both sides of the conflict profit from the trade. Dubai is considered the main hub, with over 99% of Sudan’s official gold exports going to the UAE in 2023. The UAE has been accused of backing the RSF with weapons, a claim it has denied. The UAE is providing weapons to the RSF in Sudan by using its own domestic stocks, which include arms and components originally sourced from China, the United Kingdom, Serbia, and other nations. Recent reports indicate that Saudi Arabia is primarily acting as a financial backer and facilitator for the SAF to acquire weapons from Pakistan, and potentially supplying heavy artillery from its own existing stocks of US-made weapons.

Both countries are driven by ambitious diversification strategies like Saudi Vision 2030 and UAE's economic expansion, aimed at reducing reliance on oil revenues. They are investing billions into tourism, finance, technology, AI, and renewable energy to ensure future economic sustainability. The Saudis make their relationship with Israel conditional on Palestine while the UAE have normalized relations with Israel.

What about Qatar? Qatar primarily supports the Palestinian cause, providing significant financial, political, and humanitarian aid to Gaza and hosting Hamas political leadership. However, it maintains a "pragmatic" relationship with Israel to act as a key mediator in hostage and ceasefire negotiations, often in coordination with the U.S..

Arab disunity is the biggest weapon for Zionism and the Petro-Dollar. Arab relationships in the Middle East are characterized by complex, shifting alliances, deep rivalries, and shared regional security concerns. While they cooperate on issues like the threat from Iran, they are divided by internal power struggles, political ideologies, and varying stances on Israel, with some normalizing ties while others hold out.

P.S.

Do you think Donald Trump is compromised?

VP Vance’s 35-year-old chief of staff is Jewish pro-Israel strategist Jacob Reses. Vance delivered a Jewish wedding prayer at Reses’ wedding in January. The Vice President hardly goes anywhere without Reses and maintains a close personal relationship with him. Reses is a fervent Zionist who celebrated the erection of Israel’s flag “over the rubble” of Gaza and has invoked teachings from the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement. At Princeton, Reses was active in the student group "Tigers for Israel" and organized a lobbying trip to Washington, DC, to press lawmakers on Iran sanctions and aid to Israel.
