SUMMARY

The UAE is expanding its influence in Africa, particularly around Sudan, by building a logistical network that includes field hospitals and airstrips. Recently, Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan visited the Central African Republic to negotiate a partnership offering military and economic support in exchange for airstrip access.

This move is part of a strategy to support the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in Sudan while denying direct support. The UAE aims to establish itself as a major power in Africa, filling the void left by Western countries and China.
