the u.a.e.’s quiet campaign for power in the middle east and africa

the uae wants you to see luxury towers, space missions, and humanitarian aid. but behind the scenes, it’s funding militias, backing warlords, and quietly helping reshape wars across the middle east and africa.

in this episode, we look at how the united arab emirates became one of the most influential and destabilizing actors in the region. from arming the rsf in sudan’s civil war and enabling genocide in darfur, to supporting separatists in yemen and building covert drone bases, the uae’s foreign policy isn’t about peace, it’s about control.

this is about power, ports, and profit. and the cost is being paid by people in sudan, yemen, libya, and beyond.
