Rebels cut a deal with current PM who says he is staying to assist transition of power. Jolani just released a statement forbidding any soldiers from entering public institutions and said the PM will manage the handover until they fully secure capital.

Likely last gasp attempt by UAE and others to prevent HTS from gaining full control of capital





Id be stunned if Assad is still in Damascus







Curious that UAE has no problem arming RSF to the teeth and ethnically cleansing Black Africans and looting Sudan's resources but HTS is too radical for them. I think I'm going to struggle squaring that. Out of curiosity do you guys hold a positive view of the UAE and Sheikh Mohammed?

They’re in favour of anyone that is remotely anti MB or Islamists of any stripe. The RSF aren’t religiously inspired or leaning and claim they’re fighting MB and other Islamists in Sudan, hence the UAE backing. There’s also a commercial aspect to it, as Dubai is a clearinghouse for illicit gold trade.

I don’t hold a positive view of current UAE rulers - I think they’re far overextended and trying to influence too many conflicts far outside of their realm.

It’s ideological. UAE doesn’t mess with the Muslim Brotherhood or allies to it. That’s Turkey and Qatar domain
