Saudi Arab और UAE की लड़ाई में Africa क्यों बना अखाड़ा? जानिए Saurabh Shahi से

Описание: Saurabh Shahi of The Red Mike examines the geopolitical rivalry between Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ). He explains that what began as a strategic divergence in Yemen has evolved into a full-scale diplomatic and economic tussle for dominance within the Sunni world. Saudi Arabia, perceiving the UAE’s rapid expansion as a direct threat to its leadership, has launched a proactive counter-offensive to dismantle Emirati influence across the Horn of Africa and the Maghreb.
Conflict Shift: The friction has migrated from the proxy wars of Yemen to a "chessboard" spread across African nations.
Saudi Pushback: Riyadh is systematically rolling back UAE’s military and economic footprint in strategic ports and bases.
New Alliances: Countries like Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea are realigning with Saudi Arabia, isolating the UAE.

[00:00:00 – 00:02:49] The Shift from Yemen to Africa
The video begins by recapping the recent escalation between the two Gulf powers. In Yemen, Saudi Arabia recently targeted a UAE supply ship and supported the dismantling of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC). This swift operation rolled back a decade of Emirati efforts in just a few days.
"अफ्रीका अब इसका नया अखाड़ा बन गया है... सऊदी अरब... ने रियलाइज किया है कि यूएई अपने आप को सप्लांट—यानी सऊदी को जो कि सुन्नी वर्ल्ड का अपने आप को लीडर मानता है—उसको सप्लांट करने की कोशिश कर रहा है।"

[00:02:50 – 00:07:05] Ideological Warfare and Internal Divisions
Riyadh’s counter-strategy involves attacking the UAE's image. Shahi highlights how Saudi-aligned voices are amplifying reports that link the UAE to Islamophobic narratives in Europe, damaging its standing among Muslim nations. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is exploiting internal fault lines within the UAE itself.
"यूएई कोई देश नहीं है, ये एक फेक एंटिटी है... ये सात डिफरेंट एमिरेट्स जो हैं उसको मिलके बनाई गई है... शारजाह थोड़ा मॉडरेट यानी कंजर्वेटिव है, दुबई बहुत ज्यादा खुला हुआ है।"

[00:07:06 – 00:10:51] Turning the Tide in the Horn of Africa
The focus shifts to the Horn of Africa, where the UAE has faced significant setbacks. In Somalia, regions like Somaliland and Puntland, which previously hosted UAE bases, have expelled Emirati presence under Saudi pressure. A major development occurred in Djibouti, where the government reclaimed the Doraleh port from DP World (UAE).
"जिबूटी ने धक्के मार के यूएई को वहां से वापस निकाल दिया और उस पोर्ट को उसने रिक्लेम कर लिया... उस पोर्ट के ऑपरेशन को इजिप्ट को दे दिया गया है।"

[00:10:52 – 00:14:35] Isolating the RSF in Sudan
Shahi details how this rivalry impacts the civil war in Sudan. The UAE has been a key supporter of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). However, neighboring Eritrea has pivoted toward Saudi Arabia after securing a pledge for a $1 billion investment in the Assab port. Consequently, Eritrea has stopped the UAE from using its territory to supply the RSF. Similarly, Chad has turned against the RSF after clashes involving Chadian soldiers, severing another critical supply line. This loss of logistical support has led to military reversals for the RSF on the ground.
"इरिट्रिया के जो हेड थे वह सऊदी अरब गए थे मिलने के लिए... उन्होंने कहा है कि यूएई जो है वो सूडान में इट इज़ द प्राइमरी डीस्टेबलाइजिंग फोर्स।"

[00:14:36 – 00:17:36] Regional Realignments and Conclusion
The diplomatic offensive extends to North Africa. Algeria has accused the UAE of supporting separatist groups. In Libya, General Haftar is being pressured by a Saudi-led coalition to sever his dependency on the UAE. Saudi Arabia took years to recognize the threat but is now successfully leveraging its financial muscle and diplomatic clout to push back against Emirati expansionism. While the UAE is being forced to retreat in several areas, the contest for regional supremacy is far from over.
"सऊदी को कई साल लगे, एमबीएस को कई साल लगे समझने में कि उसका जो बेनिफेक्टर है वही उसको सप्लांट करने की कोशिश कर रहा है... भीतरघात करने की कोशिश कर रहा है।"
