Where is the UAE getting weapons from?

The UAE isn’t an arms manufacturing juggernaut.

I think it’s possibly fair to say the U.S. doesn’t want this war to continue and probably doesn’t even want the UAE to supply weapons to it, but that was likely true of Israel’s bombing of Gaza as well and no one batted an eyelid when holding the U.S. responsible there.

China?

I haven't found any articles implicating the US, which has export sanctions on Sudan. The only thing I could find was something about small arms from the UK.

This report https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/07/sudan-constan... lists

> Weapons from China, Russia, Serbia, Türkiye, United Arab Emirates and Yemen identified

Although that seems to be mixing it up a bit, since Turkey and Russia are supporting the SAF.

Also some France-made weapons: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sudan-civil-war-amnesty-interna...
