dangerous phase in its efforts to destabilize Sudan and its people, following the successive defeats suffered by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militias funded by Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"407\" data-end=\"734\">According to the sources, as Sudanese cities \u2014 particularly Wad Madani \u2014 begin to recover, with the expulsion of the RSF militias, the return of electricity, and restoration of basic services, Abu Dhabi is now operating behind the scenes to sabotage this recovery by funding sabotage groups executing its agenda in the shadows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"962\">The sources confirmed that, after the collapse of its military project in Sudan, the UAE has moved into a more dangerous phase: reigniting internal chaos and plunging the country back into instability through financed proxies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14551\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption

reportedly tied to UAE plans was the complete destruction of the Bahri Water Station \u2014 the largest water supply facility in Khartoum state \u2014 carried out by RSF elements who had received orders for a tactical withdrawal while sabotaging infrastructure in their wake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1266\" data-end=\"1522\">The sabotage also includes the theft of cables, water pumps, and safety equipment, along with the full dismantling of the quality control lab \u2014 a move described as \u201cengineered\u201d for its precision and intent, not just to loot but to paralyze state functions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1825\">According to sources, the UAE\u2019s hidden goal is to send an international message that Sudan is ungovernable and unfit for recovery, thereby promoting the idea that Sudan needs \u201cinternational guardianship\u201d or a UN-led initiative \u2014 one in which Abu Dhabi would act as a so-called \u201chumanitarian mediator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"2093\">In addition, the UAE is reportedly working to undermine reconstruction efforts and demoralize national spirit by sabotaging vital sectors \u2014 electricity, water, and hospitals \u2014 aiming to erode public confidence in the country&#8217;s ability to secure victory or stability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2095\" data-end=\"2254\">The UAE also seeks to prevent the Sudanese army from establishing control and stability in liberated areas, in order to create a vacuum where chaos can resume.<\/p>\n<figure
