Sudan 's de facto president and army chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan , visited Saudi Arabia just two days after his troops dealt a significant blow to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ( RSF ), recapturing the capital Khartoum .

Missing from the frame was the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Gulf power that has backed al-burhan's rivals in Sudan ’s civil war with arms, mercenaries, and political cover.

Instability across the Red Sea poses a direct threat to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 economic overhaul.

U.S. lawmakers confirmed in January that the UAE was arming the RSF .

The widening gulf over Sudan is symptomatic of a deeper strategic divergence between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi .

Sudan is paying the price for this fractured Gulf relationship, writes Peter Bergen .

Saudi Arabia , driven by its Vision 2030 imperatives and a desire to reassert regional leadership through stability, has placed its bet on the SAF .
