Egypt bitter as Sudan's RSF Hemedti seeks to host Gaza refugees
2025-05-29
[NEWARAB] Egypt is ringing alarm bells over a potential plan for the transfer of a sizeable number of Paleostinians from the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip to areas controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
“Welcome to Sudan, gentlemen and camp followers. Just like the Irish who got off the boat in America during their civil war, you have a choice: fight with us or die. Your uniforms are over there, the tents for your families are ranged beyond. There is also a school and playground for the children, courtesy of America — it does not have any flaming hoops or tunnels. Again, welcome in brotherly solidarity!”
The concerns come against the background of a plan by US President Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
to take over the coastal Paleostinian enclave, kick its people out and build it into a "Middle East Riviera".

They also come in the wake of media reports about United Arab Emirates-sponsored attempts by RSF commander Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti, to curry favour with Trump's administration by proposing to take in some of the people of Gaza in areas controlled by his militia in Sudan.

Such a plan angers Cairo, which has been lobbying hard to foil the US president's plan.
”How dare those upstarts connive with that horrible Trump person to enable that uppity Jewish state to win against pious Muslims! Don’t they know that we were already civilized when they still painted themselves blue and danced around with bones through their noses?!”
"Egypt staunchly opposes the displacement of the people of Gaza because it is keen on protecting the rights of the Paleostinians to their land," Egyptian political researcher Mohammed Rabie al-Dehi remarked to The New Arab.
They’re no good as a weapon against the Jooooos once they’re scattered and working on survival and improving their lot.
"Hemedti's proposal to take in Gaza refugees makes it necessary for all Arab states to act to rescue Paleostinian statehood dreams," he added.

LITTLE INFLUENCE OVER RSF
There has been no confirmation of the aforementioned reports from either the US or the UAE. The RSF commander Hemedti has not spoken openly about such a plan either.

Nonetheless, Abu Dhabi maintains close relations with the paramilitary Sudanese group which has been locked in a war with the Sudanese army since mid-April 2023, one that has so far destroyed most of Sudan, caused the displacement of millions of Sudanese citizens, both inside and outside Sudan, and opened the door for the emergence of one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

Close relations between the UAE and the RSF have turned the Sudanese army and Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council, the ruling body in Sudan, against Abu Dhabi, with the council accusing the Gulf state of offering arms and financial support to its rival militia.

The Sudanese government has also filed a lawsuit against the UAE at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of complicity with the RSF in perpetrating genocide in Sudan.

Egypt's problem with a scenario where the RSF proposes to take in Gaza refugees in areas it controls in Sudan derives from the little influence it has over the Sudanese militia.

The RSF shares control over Sudanese cities with the Sudanese army. In recent weeks, the paramilitary group intensified its military campaign against the army, having apparently received a fresh supply of arms from its regional benefactors, especially unmanned aerial vehicles.

Now, the RSF controls large swaths of eastern Sudan, along with areas in the western part of the African country where allied militias prevail.

The intensification of the RSF campaign also came hard on the heels of significant victories by the Sudanese army, especially in Sudanese capital, Khartoum.

Cairo has been a strong backer of the Sudanese army, a policy enshrined in Egypt's foreign policy doctrine which bans relations with non-state actors or militias.

This backing has caused relations between Cairo and the RSF to teeter on the edge of hostility, with the militia repeatedly accusing the Egyptian air force of striking its positions and killing its fighters.

"The RSF is a fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
militia that has suffered one defeat after another in the past period," Sudanese political analyst Amgad Farid told TNA.

"It works tooth and nail to prove its relevance by criticising and antagonising Egypt, a regional heavyweight whether it likes it or not," he added.
