🚨🇿🇦SOUTH AFRICA IS ON THE EDGE OF A SOCIALIST ABYSS
Robert Hersov:
"140 race-based laws in South Africa, all anti-white.
There's been endless laws, anti-white, boiling us like a frog in a bowl.
And all I can say is thank you, America, and thank you, Donald Trump, for taking notice because we are on the edge of the socialist abyss."

The Global South Must Support Sudan’s ICJ Case Against the UAE
In an article written by Amgad Fareid Eltayeb for Foreign Policy, the author, , argues that the international community, particularly the Global South, must rally behind Sudan’s genocide case against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The case, filed on March 6, 2025, accuses the UAE of complicity in genocide by financially and militarily supporting the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed), which has committed systematic atrocities in Sudan, particularly against the Masalit ethnic group in West Darfur.
Eltayeb highlights that between May and June 2023, up to 15,000 Masalit civilians were massacred, and 500,000 were displaced into Chad, mirroring the ethnic cleansing campaigns of the Janjaweed militias in the early 2000s. Reports from Human Rights Watch, the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, and Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab document mass killings, sexual violence, and the burning of villages by the Janjaweed, demonstrating clear genocidal intent. Survivor testimonies reinforce this evidence, describing how fighters targeted civilians based on ethnicity, often using racial slurs during executions.
The article provides details on the direct role of the UAE in supporting the Janjaweed, showing that these are not mere allegations but facts backed by concrete evidence. In January 2024, the United Nations Security Council’s Panel of Experts revealed credible evidence that the UAE supplied weapons to the Janjaweed via its military base in Amdjarass, Chad. Flight tracking data and satellite imagery, analyzed by Conflict Observatory, a U.S.-based center specializing in war crime verification, concluded with "near certainty" that the UAE transferred weapons to the Janjaweed. A Reuters investigation found at least 86 flights from the UAE to Amdjarass since the war began, three-quarters of which were operated by carriers previously linked to arms trafficking.
A New York Times investigation exposed a secret Emirati drone base at Amdjarass airport near the Sudanese border, where Chinese-made Wing Loong drones were launched under the guise of a humanitarian project linked to an Emirati Red Crescent hospital. These drones significantly increased civilian casualties in urban confrontations, granting the militia a strategic advantage.
The UAE’s political and economic influence complicates efforts to hold it accountable. With a GDP of $569 billion compared to Sudan’s $30 billion, and deep ties with Western governments, the UAE has successfully shielded itself from scrutiny. In January 2025, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen and Representative Sara Jacobs confirmed that the UAE had reneged on its pledge to halt support for the Janjaweed, according to Biden administration briefings, enabling the militia to continue its atrocities.
In December 2023, South Africa filed a genocide case against Israel at the ICJ over its actions in Gaza, garnering immediate support from Algeria, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Pakistan, and other Global South nations. This demonstrated a historic moment of Global South solidarity, reinforcing South Africa’s moral authority, stemming from its anti-apartheid and anti-colonial struggle.
Sudan’s case against the UAE, despite presenting overwhelming evidence of war crimes and ethnic cleansing, has not received the same level of support. While Sudan may lack South Africa’s moral legacy, this should not diminish the urgency of its case or the gravity of the crimes committed. The war in Sudan, marked by mass suffering, displacement, and the collapse of state institutions, is one of the worst humanitarian and political crises of our time. However, it is not merely a domestic conflict; it is the product of international neglect, regional manipulation, and Africa’s continued marginalization in the global legal order.
If the same nations that stood behind South Africa’s case fail to support Sudan, it would expose a double standard in international justice. It would demonstrate that justice is selectively applied, favoring the politically powerful while denying accountability to victims in weaker states. This hypocrisy would undermine the very principles upon which Global South solidarity is built.
Supporting Sudan’s case against the UAE does not equate to endorsing the Sudanese government’s handling of the war. While the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) is not without fault, conflict data from ACLED shows that in 2024 alone, the Janjaweed was responsible for nearly 1,300 civilian-targeted attacks—seven times the number attributed to the SAF. While military miscalculations by the SAF have resulted in civilian casualties, these incidents are fundamentally different from the Janjaweed’s systematic campaign of extermination, sexual slavery, and the incineration of entire villages.
Moreover, the Sudanese government's bureaucratic obstacles to humanitarian aid must not be used as an excuse to ignore the UAE’s role in fueling these atrocities. Sudan’s humanitarian catastrophe is widely considered the worst of the 21st century, and much of it directly stems from the Janjaweed’s war of aggression and its continued access to foreign military and financial support. The UAE’s extensive proxy war network—from Sudan to Libya, Yemen, and Syria—shows that without accountability, it will continue destabilizing fragile states to advance its strategic interests.
The stakes for international justice could not be higher. If Sudan’s case is dismissed or ignored due to political pressure, it would not only embolden the UAE but also signal to authoritarian regimes worldwide that impunity is achievable through financial power and diplomatic alliances. However, a successful ruling at the ICJ could restore faith in the court’s credibility and reaffirm the principle that genocide and war crimes will not be tolerated, regardless of the perpetrators.
If Global South nations fail to support Sudan, they will leave a dangerous vacuum that stronger actors will exploit for military expansion, resource extraction, and geopolitical leverage. Ignoring Sudan’s grievances will solidify a world order where economic power outweighs justice, leaving Sudanese victims as mere collateral damage in a global power struggle.
