My latest in @nytimes about the likelihood of multiple new wars breaking out across the Horn of Africa at the same time that the Trump Administration is dismantling America's expertise and institutions that have enabled its previous peacemaking there.@csis nytimes.com/2025/05/09/opi…


RSF converts hospital in Sudan’s West Kordofan into military base. Yet another violation of the rules of war. aljazeera.com/news/2025/11/2…


More of the UAE spin machine, with an especially craven argument that the longer you believe the lies of UAE involvement, the more Sudanese die. "One accusation has gained disproportionate traction: the claim that the UAE is arming one side and fuelling the conflict. It is a…


US influence is waning in Africa’s Sahel, but new partnerships could rebuild influence to counter Russia and China | USAPP blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2025…


My thoughts on the US role in Sudan: “Trump is made for this moment. He’s made for the moment of striking an elite deal among big men. What he’s not made for is rolling up his sleeves and getting involved in the nitty gritty of Sudanese politics.” cnn.com/2025/11/28/pol…


An excellent look at the neighboring and regional states that are fueling both sides of the war in Sudan, with some analysis from me. theafricareport.com/399898/drones-…


EU rethinks UAE trade deal over arms transfer to Sudan's RSF militia. The EU could for once be a real profile in courage and do what the US Congress talks about but isnt going to do--deny trade benefits to UAE for their perfidy in Sudan. dw.com/en/eu-uae-trad…


"Trump’s involvement is a double-edged sword: it brings political weight and leverage, but risks tying Sudan’s future to transactional geopolitical interests." middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-tr…


I normally wouldn't respond to this kind of attack, but I want to make clear why my criticism of UAE is so strong. It isnt just the material support they provide to the RSF which is used to terrorize an entire population, though that is bad enough. My real problem is their total…

Cameron, every time Sudan comes up you rush to attack the UAE, while ignoring that Burhan himself is documented by UN investigators and rights groups for killing civilians, recruiting children, and allowing sexual violence in areas under SAF control. And the irony? You shook…

And enabled by the UAE.

Sudan's RSF took blood from civilians trying to flee el-Fasher. Just when you think you've heard every story of RSF depravity, they sink even lower. This is beyond sadistic. You have to wonder why we even have debates about labeling them terrorists? middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive…

Its fairly obvious that SAF officials have lost faith in Boulos (with some now calling for his removal) largely because of the large gap between what Trump and Rubio have said re Sudan recently and what Boulos is doing/saying with UAE. But its also a classic SAF tactic to reject,…

Secretary Rubio two weeks ago: "And we’re not going to let the Quad process that we’ve set up be a shield that people hide behind and say, “Well, we’re involved with the Quad.  We’re trying to solve it.”  state.gov/releases/offic…



"Gargash: UAE has not transferred any weapons to parties in the Sudanese war. All 162 flights were carrying humanitarian aid." The problem with this UAE talking point is that requires everyone who hears it to be a total f*cking idiot. skynewsarabia.com/middle-east/18…

Fully agree with this sentiment: “Mediation is really the only viable strategy for de-escalating [Ethiopia-Eritrea] tensions at this moment." But who is going to do it? v.aa.com.tr/3754387


Is Ethiopia Geopolitically Prepared for the Regional Fallout of Sudan’s Civil War? Interesting look at the regional dynamics of Sudan's war hornreview.org/2025/11/25/is-…


Abdul Wahid calling on Burhan to accept the US ceasefire plan. Worth watching as he has not spoken on the war in quite some time. france24.com/en/video/20251…


Interesting article on SAF internal dynamics and the future of the war in Sudan. "For now, the Quad ceasefire proposal is the only serious diplomatic plan on the table. But it confronts a hard reality: Sudan’s war is no longer a fight between just two armed factions, it is linked…
