Shadow Armies: UAE’s Covert Wars In Sudan, Yemen, And Gaza

Abu Dhabi’s global mercenary network deploys foreign fighters to crush dissent, pursue expansionist ambitions, and support Israel's regional geopolitical agenda.

Fleeing its notorious record and mounting international legal scrutiny, Blackwater, the world's most infamous private military company, found safe harbor in the Persian Gulf. There, the UAE opened its coffers, welcoming the mercenary firm with open arms... safeguarding monarchies and executing foreign agendas in exchange for cash, immunity, and impunity.

In 2009, Blackwater rebranded as Xe Services LLC after a string of war crimes in Iraq, notably the Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad two years earlier. The cosmetic change masked a continuity of purpose, which is circumventing international law and orchestrating illicit operations from the shadows.

Founder Erik Prince officially stepped down but relocated to the UAE in 2010, where he launched Reflex Responses (also known as R2) and retained a 51 percent stake, ushering in a new era of industrial-scale mercenary recruitment.

City of Mercenaries

By 2011, the outlines of a covert UAE mercenary army had emerged, tasked with exerting influence across West Asia and Africa. This was no accident as Blackwater played a central role, with then-Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed (MbZ) serving as one of its chief patrons.

A host of enabling conditions made the project viable. Abu Dhabi had become a haven for fugitives and illicit finance. South America's Colombia became the recruitment bedrock through an agreement to build a mercenary force led by former FBI agent Ricky Chambers, a close Prince ally. These mercenaries received the “Rincón” designation, granting them immunity from prosecution under the UAE's military intelligence apparatus.

...From internal repression to regional conquest

The UAE's first contract with Blackwater in 2010 focused on protecting the sheikhdom. MbZ, skeptical of his own army's loyalty, brought in foreign officers... These mercenaries tortured political detainees, maintained weapons systems, and served as a Praetorian Guard for the Emirati elite.

Erik Prince personally oversaw the training of 2,000 Somali fighters in 2011 as part of a US-backed, UAE-funded anti-piracy campaign. Simultaneously, Yemen became a testing ground for these mercenaries...

Israel Set To Approve Long-Delayed Pipeline To Supply Gas To Egypt

Analysts argue the $35-billion gas deal locks Egypt into dependence on Israeli supplies until 2040, giving Tel Aviv leverage over Cairo’s politics and energy security

The long-delayed Nitzana Pipeline is expected to be approved within the next two weeks after a two-year stalemate, Globes reported on 19 August.

Once completed, the line will allow Israel to increase natural gas exports to Egypt by 2028.

The project is operated by Israel Natural Gas Lines (INGL), the state-owned company responsible for building and managing the country’s natural gas transmission infrastructure.

The pipeline is designed to carry an additional six billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas per year into Egypt.

A consortium of Israeli natural gas exporters led by the US energy company Chevron and Israel’s NewMed Energy, which together operate the largest natural gas reservoir in the Mediterranean, located off the coast of Israel – the Leviathan field – had agreed to finance construction themselves but repeatedly failed to submit funding proposals.

🚨BREAKING - Trump says he would make a decision in two weeks when he expects to “know the attitude of Russia and, frankly, of Ukraine.”

“Then I’m going to make a decision as to what we do and it’s going to be, it's going to be a very important decision. And that’s whether or not it’s massive sanctions or massive tariffs or both, or do we do nothing and say it’s your fight?”

@Middle_East_Spectator

— Iran's 'counter-threat' to JCPOA snapback activation seems to be NPT withdrawal, and this has been teased for a while.

E3 has to make a decision on snapback by October, so Larijani seems to be putting pressure on the E3 to delay and/or change their decision by threatening NPT withdrawal.
