US--UAE Talks and Sudan

 The Council on Foreign Relations blog posted on 26 September 2024 a commentary titled "Washington's Mixed Messages on Fueling the War in Sudan" by Michelle Gavin.  

Following a meeting between President Joe Biden and UAE Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the White House issued a statement that included positive language about working to end the conflict in Sudan.  It does not, however, account for the fact that the UAE has been supporting one of the antagonists--the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
