UAE and Washington's Bid to Reconstruct Sudanese State

In 2021, the conflict in Sudan reflects UAE and Washington's effort to reshape the Sudanese state by reinforcing ideological changes such as removing Islam from the constitution, normalizing ties with Israel, and reestablishing the interest-based banking system. The war, primarily led by Hemeti with UAE and Washington support, aims to reconstruct the army to align with these new ideological shifts. This restructuring reflects broader attempts to integrate Sudan into a regional framework that suits the interests of external actors, raising questions about the authenticity of Sudan's transition process and the influence of ideological agendas on its stability.
