The UAE tries hard to keep its reputation spotless. But with the war in Sudan, how can it? | Nesrine Malik

Outrage is mounting about the Gulf country’s complicity in Sudan’s catastrophic civil war – and it might be starting to hit them where it hurts

There are certain states whose reputations in the global community are tainted. For habitual violations of international law, they are shunned, boycotted or slammed with economic sanctions. Reading these words, perhaps you’re thinking of Russia, Israel, Iran or North Korea. But there is one country that is rarely considered an outlaw, even if its actions increasingly fit the bill.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is belatedly starting to draw some scrutiny over mounting evidence that it is backing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that have been terrorising Sudan for years. Since the beginning of the civil war in 2023, which was triggered by a contest for power between the RSF militia and the Sudanese army, the RSF has been accused of ethnic cleansing and sexual violence. A United Nations fact-finding mission concluded that its assault on non-Arab populations in the west of the country carried “the hallmarks of genocide”.

The wailing at the Louisiana immigration detention facility began at night, Marie-Thérèse Ross-Mahé remembered, back at home in France. “Children crying, and even babies.”

The 85-year-old’s detention last month as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown made international headlines. Now, nearly a month after her release, she was ready to talk about it – and the late-in-life love story that had brought her to the US.

Global oil inventories falling at record pace amid Iran war; US producer price inflation hits four-year high – business live

IEA warns that mounting supply losses from the Strait of Hormuz are depleting global oil inventories at a record pace

Global oil stocks are being run down at a record pace as supply losses mount due to the ongoing Iran war, the International Energy Agency has warned.

In its latest outlook report, the IEA reports that global oil inventories fell by 129 million barrels in March, and by a further 117 million barrels in April, as countries dipped into their reserves to cover the shortfall following the Middle East conflict.

More than ten weeks after the war in the Middle East began, mounting supply losses from the Strait of Hormuz are depleting global oil inventories at a record pace.

The petrochemical and aviation sectors are currently most affected, but higher prices, a weaker economic environment and demand-saving measures will increasingly impact fuel use.

Oops!... Pak did it again: The 'deny, deflect, get caught' pattern repeats

Pakistan's history of 'oops' moments, from allegedly harboring Iranian aircraft to denying terrorist camps, has eroded its credibility on the global stage.
