Watan-Anyone who follows the recent media appearances of former Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok won’t see an independent politician or honest analyst, but rather a paid witness playing a role assigned by the UAE palace.
Hamdok doesn’t speak like a political refugee or a neutral expert—he acts as a media soldier with strategic objectives favoring Abu Dhabi: glorifying Mohammed bin Zayed, cleaning up his crimes in Sudan, and shifting blame, subtly or blatantly, onto regional powers like Saudi Arabia and Egypt—without daring to condemn the Emirati patron providing his platform.
Residence in Abu Dhabi: Not a Privilege but a Constraint
Anyone who’s lived in Abu Dhabi knows free expression there is a cruel joke. No one, regardless of nationality or status, dares criticize Mohammed bin Zayed publicly without risking disappearance, forced deportation, or interrogation.
Still, Hamdok portrays Abu Dhabi as a refuge, a haven of democracy—an absurd contradiction to anyone familiar with Emirati repression.
Mission: Exonerate the UAE, Distribute the Blame
Insider sources from Emirati intelligence confirm Hamdok’s recent interviews—whether in English or Arabic—were orchestrated by the UAE’s political security apparatus. His mission:
-
Clear the UAE of responsibility for fueling Sudan’s civil war.
-
Redirect blame to Saudi Arabia and Egypt without provoking Emirati interests.
-
Use Hamdok as a “reasonable” voice, criticizing all parties but in a carefully crafted sequence that reinforces the UAE narrative.
In English interviews, he claims “all regional states are complicit,” omitting direct mention of the UAE. In Arabic interviews, he praises bin Zayed and hints—without naming—at Saudi “betrayal”—a deliberate strategic imbalance designed to exonerate the UAE while softening the message.
Washing Blood with “Emirati Generosity”
UAE’s media strategy in Sudan mixes humanitarian spectacle with violence:
-
Rockets demolish civilian areas in Khartoum, yet Emirati drones empower militia assaults.
-
Looted gold from Darfur flows to Dubai, while Red Crescent aircraft carry aid supplies overhead.
Amid this paradox, Hamdok is tasked with praising the UAE’s “generosity,” absolving the Emirati role in mass killings, and turning bin Zayed from a backer of proxy militias into a peace patron.
Hamdok: From Technocrat to Political Operative
Initially welcomed by Sudanese revolutionists as a technocratic champion for civilian governance, Hamdok’s lack of political footing soon became evident. He succumbed to external pressures—especially from the UAE and Saudi Arabia—and became nothing more than a frontman. Today, he’s not even a neutral facade but a paid actor advancing a UAE agenda, delivering lines meant to salvage the image of bin Zayed.
Abu Dhabi Cloaked in Riyadh’s Shadow
Emirati disillusionment is now laid bare: Abu Dhabi uses Hamdok to redirect criticism to Saudi Arabia, evading accountability. Bin Zayed’s media apparatus—formerly dormant—now relies on a technocrat to claim, “Yes, we’re involved… but everyone else is too,” subtly staging Saudi Arabia as the villain while Emirati influence remains unchecked.
Conclusion: Hamdok is No Victim
Abdalla Hamdok cannot be seen as a victim of regional manipulation; he’s now complicit in spreading UAE propaganda, defending their actions, and shielding Emirati agents of violence in Sudan. Living in Abu Dhabi, staying silent, and then speaking as their mouthpiece strips him of any legitimacy in Sudan’s future. Those who gloss over genocide with “Emirati generosity” are no longer part of Sudan’s solution—they are part of the problem.
