#UAE #trafficking
As UAE police vehicles slowly navigate al Baraha district in Dubai, women come down every night, stand in front of their buildings to sell their bodies and pay their traffickers. Image
One of the young women lured into the #UAE and spent months locked up an apartment in Abu Dhabi said that when she sought help from police, she was told to go away. “To hell with Africa.” #Nigeria #trafficking
Nigerian women are required to take “juju oaths." They’re warned that breaking their vows of obedience could put a curse on them that could cause injury or death. #trafficking #UAE

“They beat the hell out of me ... The suffering was too much.”

@mokhbersahafi with the story of Christy Gold, ringleader in a criminal network that lures women from #Africa + forces them into prostitution in brothels, backstreets + bars in #Dubai.

Gold remains a fugitive from justice – part of what anti-trafficking activists + officials say is a thriving underground of suspected #Nigerian sex traffickers who have taken refuge in #UAE. via @Reuters @specialreports
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said any suggestion the UAE “tolerates human trafficking or that it has little regard to the victims of this heinous crime is utterly false.” Such allegations, the ministry said in response to questions, were “baseless and without foundation.”

The American Jewish Congress released a statement on May 8, 2023 on Bashar Al Assad rejoining the Arab League. This is a good time to recall why this is not a good idea after #Assad attended an Arab Summit in #SaudiArabia over the weekend. Read this #thread⬇️/1

@JackRosenNYC
The #AmericanJewishCongress is alarmed that efforts are underway to rehabilitate #BasharAssad. Before any normalization, Assad needs to talk to the opposition, eliminate #Iran presence in #Syria, and initiate a political transition in accordance with UNSCR 2254. /2
Sharing our concerns about rehabilitating #BasharAlAssad is more than half of Syria’s population displaced by #Assad’s actions over the past decade, says @JackRosenNYC, President of #AmericanJewishCongress. /3

“The situation in Africa’s 3rd largest country #Sudan is a matter of concern for the #US & regional heavyweights #Egypt #KSA #UAE who are trying to broker a ceasefire. #Israel has now offered to host the two warring generals in Israel to mediate permanent peace." @JackRosenNYC /2
"#Israel officials are in contact for several days now with #Sudan Army chief Gen Abdul Fattah al-Burhan & Rapid Support Forces (RSF) head Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo — known as Hemedti. Contacts between 🇮🇱officials and the two 🇸🇩 generals have been direct and through messages." /3

In five years, #JoeBiden will likely get the #NobelPeacePrize. But not because he did anything proactively for peace.

It is because a #Multipolar World will be more peaceful than a unipolar one, and Biden has done more than anyone else (albeit unwittingly) to further that. (1/n)
The US-led #sanctions against #Russia in response to the #UkraineRussiaWar have forced countries around the world to abandon the US dollar as a medium of trade. This is forcing the rest of the world (non-West) together. Banning Russia from #swift was most important in this. (2/n)
#India and #China desperately need oil. Because of sanctions, Russia is providing oil at cheap rates to both. Russia has now become India's largest source of oil, displacing Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Chinese imports of Russian oil have also zoomed upwards. (3/n)

Network-centric statecraft at its best, involving #Libya, #Wagner and the War in #Yemen Image

Abu Dhabi has significant leverage over Hemedti

"With the sending of mercenaries to Yemen and the financial manna of gold smuggling for the #UAE, #Hemetti also became one of the richest and most powerful men in the country." #Sudan

The #UAE have used their role as a regional hub to build broad networks in #Sudan making it an indispensable facilitator for the #RSF

The UAE also provided information support to the #RSF:
"In October 2021 DFRLab reported on a Facebook network with links to Saudi and the #UAE, which was removed for “coordinated inauthentic behavior on behalf of a foreign or government entity.”

The Continuing Regional Rapprochement of #Syria and #Assad

A thread 🪡

1/25 Image
In January I wrote about how, after over 10 years of brutal war pushed and funded by outside powers, the #MiddleEast was accepting that the #Syrian Arab Republic, led by #Assad would stay in power.

The #USA and #NATO countries have been unhappy about things turning out this way, especially as #Syria is a close ally of #Russia. However, the Muslim states of the region are seeing that the future is cooperation, and that the SAR has won the war.

The framing of the #Sudan current conflict as a proxywar between the #UAE backed #RSF & #Egypt backed #SAF is not only wrong, but one of the dumbest misinformed takes one could have about this situation. Rivalled only by the take that supporting the Generals wud lead to democracy
First off:
-the UAE doesnt back the #RSF over the Sudan military. They back both, but will always lean to the side of institutions (The Army) when push comes to shove, and has been for the past 6 months. Same with Saudi.

Currently the #RSF stands alone.
Secondly:
The #SAF is not only backed by #Egypt..it is also backed by the Gulf, the EU and the US. The western powers specifically will never back the #RSF or Hamedti given his history of ethnic cleansing in Darfur, & especially after his collaboration with #Russia got exposed.
