continued……… Instead of designating the RSF as a terrorist organization, alerting the UAE or halting arms exports, Western governments redoubled their coordination with the militias' sponsor in the Gulf. For example, the Berlin Conference on Sudan in April 2026 saw Emirati representatives welcomed while the Sudanese government was excluded. Months later, Britain shut Sudan out of secret conferences discussing Sudan's future while inviting RSF affiliates. Moreover, Western interventions have offered lifelines to a J*Nusid militia on the brink of collapse, as indicated by the US-led push for a nationwide arms embargo that would disproportionately harm Sudan's national army. At the same time, Western countries warned against a repeat of the atrocities of al-Fashir al-Obayd. However, this nightmare did not happen as the Sudanese army managed to break the siege, leaving it ready to re-enter Darfur and liberate al-Fashir - a scenario that might not have happened had the national arms embargo been imposed. Ultimately, the past year has proven that protecting the Sudanese will come from self-reliance, not reliance on Western nations allied with the oil-rich Gulf state waging war in Sudan.
