UAE CREATING ELITE ‘FOREIGN LEGION’ FOR AFRICA OPS?

The UAE has engaged in multiple colonial endeavors in Africa, including funding proxy wars in Sudan and Libya.

Despite its small size, its large wealth has enabled it to pursue an aggressive foreign policy - supporting Dagalo's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan and Khalifa Haftar in Libya, as well as securing significant influence over strategic waterways in Yemen and Somalia.

Now a leaked job advertisement has apparently revealed Abu Dhabi is hiring an elite force, modelled on the French Foreign Legion - to be deployed in support of Emirati proxy wars on our continent.

African Stream's Ahmed Ghoneim gives his personal take on the revelation. Give him a shout out in the comments if you share his sentiments!
