RSF has claimed control over army headquarters and state television, and the UAE and KSA have issued a statement calling for a return to the transition process. It looks rather like the RSF is operating under the direction of the Khaleej, just as they were in Yemen. Allahu 'Alam

China calls for a cease-fire in Sudan and avoiding further escalation

I would interpret this as a call specifically to the government of Sudan and the army, not so much to the RSF.

I didn't anticipate THIS! 😳

🌍🇸🇩 African Union chief to travel to Sudan as fighting spreads

The chairman of the African Union (AU) Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, will travel "immediately" to Sudan "to engage the parties towards a ceasefire", announced Sunday the pan-African organization.

Expressing its "deep concern" about the situation, the AU also called on the forces of the two generals in charge of Sudan to "protect civilians", in a statement issued after an emergency meeting of the organization's Peace and Security Council on Sunday afternoon.

The organ in charge of conflicts and security issues within the AU "requests the Chairperson of the AU Commission to continue to use his good offices to engage with the parties to the conflict in order to facilitate dialogue and peaceful resolution of the conflict in Sudan and welcomes his commitment to travel immediately to Sudan to engage the parties towards a ceasefire."

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 🇪🇺 US manufacturing
investment doubles
after Biden subsidies
launched

🔵 The investment in semiconductor and clean tech investments is almost double the commitments made in the same sectors in the whole of 2021, and nearly twenty times the amount in 2019, according to data compiled by the Financial Times.
While the FT identified four projects worth at least $1bn each in these sectors in 2019, there were 31 of that size after August 2022.

🔵 “We see right now the tectonic plates are shifting with respect to investment in the United States,” said US energy secretary Jennifer Granholm this week, referring to the surge of investment in recent months.
The Inflation Reduction Act, which became law last August, includes $369bn of tax credits for clean technologies as the Biden administration of pledges to decarbonise the US economy. Another law passed last August, the Chips and Science Act, includes $39bn in funds to stimulate semiconductor manufacturing and $24bn worth of manufacturing tax credits. Both are also designed to break US dependence on Chinese supply chains.

🔵 The industrial policies have drawn fire from European and Asian allies, who have claimed their deep subsidies and made-in-America requirements amount to protectionism. Emmanuel Macron, president of France, who visited China last week in an attempt to improve Paris’s relations with Beijing, has said the IRA could “fragment the west”.

The EU unveiled a rival industrial strategy last month with provisions to match subsidies for projects at risk of going abroad.

🔵 “The magnitude of these investments together is pretty staggering,” said Cullen Hendrix, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “This is attempting to go from zero to 100 miles an hour in terms of supply chain development in a way that we haven’t seen in quite a while.”

Note that the situation is still very fluid and this map is only an indication of the approximate territorial balance of power across the country."

Amorality is a control strategy

we need to compile a kind of dossier, a record of some sort, of all the moves being made by KSA and UAE over the last several years in pursuit of expanding their influence and enabling themselves to act independently. Anyone want to help work on this?

It is very interesting what UAE and KSA are doing. This is potentially empire-building in real time, I think we can benefit from documenting and examining it

I have created a google doc for compiling research on the influence expansion project of the UAE and KSA, this will be a work in progress
