@MohanadElbalal Mohaned , how are you so sure of this claim? The more you comment on this matter w/o any serious sources, the more you feed into the narrative of IRGC>MB>SAF link that is being pushed by certain entities on this platform, considering your background. See reply to your post

Iran doesn’t have an ICBM programme. But even if it did that isn’t an excuse to attack them. We attacked them because they have the capacity to attack us is a bogus self defence argument that keeps on being used to wage illegal wars.

A Captivating narrative that refuses to die. RSF drones, vehicles, supply flights aren’t being bankrolled by a tree sap they’re funded by Abu Dhabi; partly in return for present day gold smuggled and partly on the future promise that the UAE will get to fully exploit any future region of Sudan that is ruled by their proxy RSF militia.

@FormulaRauda @YousraElbagir @walaaelsadig @MohanadElbalal anyone able to verify this?

🚨Special Report | Port Sudan 🚨 Mujahid Bushra An Iranian delegation arrived in Port Sudan on Sunday in an undeclared visit, holding closed-door meetings the same evening with General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Islamist-linked figures including Ahmed Haroun, and Iran’s chargé d’affaires Mohammad Hassan Khairi. The delegation reportedly delivered a message from Tehran expressing appreciation for Sudan’s position during the recent escalation involving U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, while affirming its intent to expand a strategic partnership with the Port Sudan authority, including reactivating previously signed military cooperation agreements. Discussions also covered accelerating plans for an Iranian naval base on the Red Sea and revisiting a potential Russian base in Port Sudan, building on prior understandings reached in February 2025. Overall, the talks reflect a broader shift toward deeper alignment with Iran and Russia, with implications for regional security, maritime routes, and foreign military presence in the Red Sea.

@walaaelsadig And Eid Mubarak to you and your family. May Allah grant all your wishes.

@walaaelsadig @KholoodKhair Indeed.

You’re right. Fortunately, it’s a small group whose activism is clearly politically driven and aligned with specific agendas. Their voices should not be mistaken for the diaspora as a whole. Many of us Sudanese abroad continue to work with sincerity and dedication for the good of our country. In the end, genuine efforts for Sudan will always outweigh politically motivated narratives.

This seems like a lot of #Sudan's money to pay for advice SAF won't take. I can't inagine the other firms they were paying didn't tell them to wind down the many islamist liabilities within the institution or advise them to sharply condemn and curtail the pro-IRGC factions etc

@sahelcorridors Says Rachel Allen who is based in the US. Likely not have even visited Sudan or understand anything claims she knows everything about "sahelcorridors" ignores all the official reports and findings by the UN so she can make her point.

The Guardian just published a piece claiming the RSF is carrying out a deliberate starvation strategy in Sudan. But when you read the article itself, the core evidence comes from interpretation of satellite imagery — not direct proof of intent or responsibility. That’s an enormous allegation built on a very questionable type of analysis. theguardian.com/global-develop…

@Sai_Ishaya_ 👀

But Suella, by your own definition, you are a DEI hire. The only reason you won a seat in Parliament was that the Conservative Party leadership placed you on their "A-List", a system explicitly designed by David Cameron and George Osborne to bypass local associations and fast-track diverse candidates. You were promoted into influential roles with record speed and framed as the "future of the party" specifically because they wanted a more diverse front bench. Are you saying it was "anti-white racism" that cleared the path for your career? If you’ve truly realized that DEI is racist, will you be resigning your seat to allow a "qualified white candidate" to take your place, or are you happy to remain Reform’s token stooge? This is racism we are talking about after all and you shouldn't take it lightly. These are all direct quotes from George Osborne's (David Cameron's Chancellor's) podcast. 1) "We were very deliberate. We felt the Conservative Party had to look like the country it wanted to govern. If we had just left it to the local associations at the time, we would have ended up with the same type of candidate every time. We had to intervene to ensure we had more women and more people from ethnic minority backgrounds." 2) "It’s one of the great ironies of the Cameron years. We moved heaven and earth to diversify the candidate list, and now some of the people who came through that process, like Suella (Braverman) and Priti (Patel), are the ones most vocally attacking the very liberal, modernizing project that brought them in." 3) "It wasn't that we were picking people who weren't good enough. It was that there were brilliant barristers, doctors, and business people who happened to be women or from minority backgrounds who weren't getting a look-in. We just forced the door open for them."

@walaaelsadig @KholoodKhair Well said. I also don't understand why is this a headline news. So many countries and individuals lobby. The reason why Sudan unfortunately will not progress far because you have the some Sudanese diaspora not helping the situation whatsoever.

This post reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what lobbying firms actually do. What you’re missing is that countries hire firms in Washington to navigate congress, media, and policy circles not to lecture sovereign states on how to run their armies. Sudan is facing an externally backed militia that committed atrocities across the country, and engaging professional advocacy in the U.S. is called diplomacy. What’s actually striking is the reflex to frame everything through the same tired narrative about the “Islamists” while conveniently ignoring the foreign backed militia that devastated Sudan.

@MohanadElbalal How about we just treat humans being with decency? Nothing tied to religion. After all isn't that basics of all religions. This simplicitic view is damaging. You can argue in suppor of Sudan without circulating misinformation.

Reminder that the UAE flew back Israelis free of cost. Even if you don’t care about Sudan I don’t understand why Muslims haven’t boycotted this Zionist Statelet.

Someone needs to explain who this guy is and why people keep sharing is AI posts?

@walaaelsadig Well said. I also haven't seen an info graph showing the RSF. But you know let's explain an entire country on just a simple info graph and point it to a specific individual... The end game is needing control of Port Sudan as we understand it took only 1 phone call to start this.

🚨#Sudan Through The Islamists Lens Again The infographic in the post below from a noticeably biased account is simply a recycled political narrative that has been repeated for years by a very specific circle of Sudanese political activists and amplified by certain regional actors. Nearly every claim in it reflects familiar talking points rather than verifiable facts. General Abdel Fattah Al Burhan @aftaburhan did not rise through the ranks because of affiliation with the National Congress Party or Islamist movements. Like thousands of Sudanese officers, he advanced through the normal military chain of command during the previous regime, a fact that anyone with basic knowledge of Sudan’s military structure would understand. The infographic also claims that his political power derives from foreign backing. That is simply incorrect. His authority stems from his position as Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces and Chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, the two institutions that represent the continuity of the Sudanese state. Equally telling is the persistent effort in the posts to frame Sudan almost exclusively through the lens of “Islamist networks.” This has become a recurring pattern among a number of Western commentators who attempt to explain Sudan through an outdated ideological template while overlooking the country’s far more complex political and institutional realities. Presenting this as serious analysis would require evidence and genuine familiarity with the country being discussed. As written, it reads more like a repetition of well-known political talking points rather than an informed assessment.

@sahelcorridors Now please done one for the RSF. It will be enlightening

With the U.S. moving to designate networks tied to the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan as terrorists, I created this infographic to map the deeper institutional story. Sudan’s current military leadership —notably Abdel Fattah al-Burhan — emerged from the security system built under Omar al-Bashir, where Islamist political and military structures became embedded in state institutions. The issue isn’t just militias. It’s the legacy inside the state.

@shanaka86 You should write a piece next on the other side of the Sudanese so-called civil war and you will be fascinated but you will find.

JUST IN: While the world watches missiles over Hormuz, the UAE just won a fifteen-year war with a phone call. On 8 March, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed called President Trump. Within 24 hours, the United States designated Sudan’s Muslim Brotherhood as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist organisation, effective immediately, with full Foreign Terrorist Organisation status taking effect 16 March. The State Department explicitly cited IRGC support: Iranian training, arming, and funding of the Brotherhood’s al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade, approximately 20,000 fighters currently active in Sudan’s civil war. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the designation within hours, praising Trump’s “sustained efforts” to deprive the Brotherhood of “resources for extremism, hatred, and terrorism.” Yemen’s Al Islah Party, the Brotherhood’s Yemeni branch, was simultaneously pressed for designation. The timing is not coincidental. It is transactional. MBZ has sought the destruction of the Muslim Brotherhood since 2011. The UAE designated it as a terrorist organisation domestically in 2014. Trump’s November 2025 executive order opened the legal architecture. But execution requires momentum. The Iran war provided it. A Gulf ally under Iranian missile attack calling the American President during the most intense military campaign since 2003 carries leverage that peacetime diplomacy never could. MBZ converted Hormuz into a bargaining chip for an ideological objective that predates the war by a decade. The IRGC linkage is the mechanism that makes this possible. The State Department did not designate the Sudanese Brotherhood because MBZ asked. It designated the Brotherhood because IRGC support for al-Baraa Bin Malik creates a legally seamless bridge between the Iran war and the Sudan civil war. Twenty thousand IRGC-trained fighters in Africa are now US-designated terrorists under the same sanctions architecture governing Hormuz. Sudan’s civil war just became a de facto second front in the Iran conflict through a legal instrument, not a military one. This produces a dual-chokepoint compression nobody has modelled. Hormuz is closed by insurance. Bab al-Mandab faces Houthi reactivation. The Houthis were designated FTO in January 2025. The Sudanese Brotherhood is designated as of 9 March. Al Islah is under pressure. Every Iranian proxy network touching the Red Sea corridor now faces coordinated US sanctions, not because of the Red Sea but because of a phone call about the Brotherhood made during a war about Iran. The insurance actuaries who price Red Sea shipping risk just received a new data input: US terrorist designations for organisations operating in the exact geography their models cover. War-risk premiums for Red Sea routes, already elevated by Houthi strikes, now compound with Sudanese sanctions exposure. The P&I clubs pricing Hormuz and the P&I clubs pricing Bab al-Mandab are the same seven institutions. Both chokepoints now carry simultaneous designation-driven risk premiums. The market prices a quick Iran war. The designations lock in 12 to 24 months of proxy sanctions enforcement across two chokepoints, two civil wars, and three continents. MBZ did not ask for a military favour. He asked for a legal weapon. And he received it while the world counted missiles. Full analysis. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Nate_Jone @SenateForeign ...and therein lies the problem with the Sudanese diaspora. Typing away from your safe haven without regards to the plight of the poor Sudanese women and children who have been raped by this group or the Sudanese youth who has been killed by them. Source:gov.uk/government/new…

You've a serious deficit in understanding the struggle of the Sudanese people, particularly those from the margins. You can use as many metaphors and adjectives as you want, but the only genocidal institution in Sudan has been the barbaric Sudanese Armed Forces led by the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood. Sudan’s dark history of war crimes didn't start recently. It was established long before independence by the genocidal Sudanese Armed Forces, and it has continued without interruption until today. Who used chemical weapons against civilians in Sudan? Who built a system of war, repression, and mass killing across the country? The answer has been the same institution for decades. #KeepEyesOnSudan #Sudan

This is a vital step to curb the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence in the region, especially as hardline Islamists seek to reassert themselves. Now, we must also seriously consider the same FTO designation for the genocidal Rapid Support Forces and their terror campaign in Sudan.

@FormulaRauda Did wonder when you will pipe up. We understand that the RSF is next on the list so don't rejoice yet.

Well done to the United States. The designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist entity confirms what the UAE have warned about for years. These networks are not isolated. They are part of a broader extremist ecosystem tied to actors like Hamas, the Houthis, and Iranian-backed militias, as well as Islamist factions within SAF that continue to destabilize Sudan and the wider region. The reality is finally being acknowledged. Now it is time for the rest of the West to follow.

@MohanadElbalal By that logic then Mohaned, you shouldn't voice your opinion on the state of Sudan. Plus because they are not Muslims they can't express the cultural practices of their home countries? I think they earned the right more than you or I to express their feelings.

99% of Iran’s population is Muslim. Meanwhile, only 31% of the US Iranian diaspora identify as Muslim, this is just one difference. Platforming diaspora views as directly representative of their countries populations only serves to drown out the voices of those within the country actually being affected

@bigsexyklaus @joannaccherry @RCrowcroft Dear Bot, according to BBC he was originally from Libya.

@joannaccherry @RCrowcroft You forgot to mention that this week a Sudanese stabbed 4 people in Edinburgh and 3 “teenagers” were in court for gang raping a teenager

This is the sort of carry on that used to really get on my nerves when I was an MP. War in the Middle East, innocent civilians dead and thousands of British citizens trapped there and MPs think this is a good look? No wonder voters are so sick of our politics.

@YousraElbagir @AlMigdadHassan0 Congratulations well done for this

So so honoured. A win for Sudan.

@ShabanaMahmood As much as I understand the logic, Sudan has been in a state of war since 2023, exactly when the number of the Assylum Seeker application has rise. Students from Sudan stuck studying in the UK, have no route of going back. So is the @ukhomeoffice offering them an alternative?

Britain will always provide refuge to people fleeing war and persecution, but our visa system must not be abused. That is why I am taking the unprecedented decision to refuse visas for those nationals seeking to exploit our generosity.

@Mohamed_E_Mutal @_hudsonc What kind of robotic response is that?

@s_abuelbashar @_hudsonc The UK only cares about Sudan joining the Abraham Accords. It knows only a dictatorship in Sudan can deliver that.

US sanctions 3 top RSF commanders for their role in what UN says is genocide in El Fasher. Importantly and justifiably, the US did not feel compelled to sanction SAF in search of a balance that doesn’t exist. Next step is to designate RSF terror group! home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
