Protest yesterday outside the Etihad by Sudanese + friends against the role of Abu Dhabi in the war crimes of the RSF....this is a big moment + potentially big hit to the PR machine of the Emirate
Protesters gathered outside Manchester City's stadium, which is owned by Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to condemn the role of the UAE in the genocide taking place in Sudan. #BoycottUAE 🚫
Abu Dhabi have pumped billions in Manchester...it's football club, its built environment, its council, its university, its entertainment complex...All to build soft power and a global brand. The aim is to hide its human rights record at home + war crimes abroad.
Boycott UAE for Sudan! A reminder that Sudanese activists inc in Manchester have been calling to boycott the UAE, now even more vital given the UAE backed RSF militia captures El Fasher War crimes + blood on the hands of Abu Dhabi + the UAE More info: theguardian.com/world/2025/oct…

This is exactly what the UAE are funding and doing in Sudan 🇸🇩 through the RSF where thousands of unarmed civilians mainly non Arab groups have been killed. This is a genocide and a proxy war, Sudan needs a solution.
Clip shows RSF militiamen hunting down civilians from Al Fashir that attempted to take refuge in a nearby mountain range. They don’t meat to just ethnically cleanse the city they mean to genocide its fleeing inhabitants
Siham Hassan a former member of Sudan’s Parliament who ran community Kitchen’s to feed the hungry and starving in her home city of Al Fashir was executed by RSF militiamen earlier today. انالله واناالیه راجعون
The RSF militiamen forced these civilians fleeing from El Fasher to praise their leader Hemedti before the opened fire and executed them. Hemedti is currently residing comfortably in the UAE. x.com/moawia9/status…
Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.
Not a great look. Shows the intimacy between the Labour Party + the real estate industry in MCR... it's not worked out well! "Lucy Powell issues statement after reports she urged Angela Rayner to rethink legal case against property developer donor" manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…
