\nThe only skill this man, Paul\u2014Senior Advisor on African Affairs in the U.S. administration and President Donald Trump\u2019s envoy for the Africa file\u2014seems to possess is deception. Hardly a day passes without some hollow rattle of falsehoods emanating from him. Just last week alone, Advisor Paul put out a tweet, gave an interview to Semafor with journalist Yinka Adegoke, and made statements to Bloomberg\u2014all of it spin, distortions, and outright lies.<\/p>\n

2
\nIn his Semafor interview, the deceiver declared: \u201cSudan is the world\u2019s largest humanitarian crisis today. According to the UN and UNICEF, more than 522,000 children have died from malnutrition since the war began.\u201d<\/p>\n

But who is blocking food supplies and besieging cities, Mr. Paul? Who is responsible for those 522 children dying of hunger? Paul knows the answer well but feigns ignorance, playing for the world\u2019s sympathy as if the culprit were unknown.<\/p>\n

He went on: \u201cThe battle for El-Fasher\u2014the besieged city in North Darfur\u2014has become a symbol of the humanitarian tragedy, with reports of repeated shelling of civilians, including the targeting of mosques, and depriving residents of medical and food supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once again, who is bombing civilians inside mosques? Who is defying Security Council resolutions? Of course, he dares not point at the culprits. Instead, he loudly condemns Islamists and Al-Bara\u2019a Brigades.<\/p>\n

\nWhen interviewer Yinka Adegoke pressed him: \u201cYou mentioned the Quartet. The UAE, specifically, is playing a destructive role in this conflict. How do you respond?\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Paul replied: \u201cLook, in every conflict there are narratives, accusations, and different perspectives\u2026 We are trying to balance these dynamics!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you see? Thus, the UAE\u2019s well-documented arming of the Janjaweed is brushed off as \u201cnarratives\u201d and \u201cpoints of view.\u201d This, despite the mountain of evidence, UN expert reports, and hundreds of investigative expos\u00e9s in America\u2019s most credible newspapers. Are those just fairy tales? What a pitiful deceiver you are, Mr. Paul.<\/p>\n

And what \u201cdynamics\u201d is he talking about balancing? Between the national army and a militia? Between the militia\u2019s backers and U.S. interests? Or between the militia\u2019s financiers and those who still support Sudan\u2019s state institutions?<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s deliberate disregard for UN findings\u2014which explicitly described the siege of El-Fasher and RSF crimes as \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d\u2014renders his words not just misleading, but a political shield absolving the perpetrators of blatant violations of international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n

\nAdegoke asked him: \u201cSo if you had one message for the Sudanese people from the Trump administration today, what would it be?\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul answered: \u201cThe message is simple: You are not forgotten\u2026 and we are committed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Imagine! The same man who admits in the same interview that children are dying by the hundreds, unseen and unheard, now claims Sudanese are \u201cnot forgotten.\u201d How is it not neglect, when the world watches children die from hunger and shelling while he stays silent\u2014refusing even to call for lifting the siege on El-Fasher\u2019s children?<\/p>\n

As American researcher Eric Reeves put it in an August 26 tweet:
\n\u201cWhat could be more brazenly hypocritical than having the United Arab Emirates listed among U.S.-led mediators working to alleviate civilian suffering in Sudan, while it is the very country supplying the RSF with advanced military, technical, and logistical support\u2014enabling its genocidal siege of El-Fasher and the Abu Shouk IDP camp?\u201d<\/p>\n

5
\nAfter the failed sidelines meeting during the UN General Assembly last week, the deceiver tweeted on September 25, peddling spin to mask deep rifts within the Quartet: \u201cThe four countries reaffirmed the importance of ending the war, restoring peace, and meeting the humanitarian needs of the Sudanese people.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was nothing but a recycled statement from September 12\u2014no new ground broken.<\/p>\n

6
\nIn a Bloomberg report on September 24, Paul claimed: \u201cThe RSF has agreed to allow humanitarian trucks into El-Fasher, with some supplies already beginning to flow. It is starting to take shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is an outright lie, and he knows it. Aid officials told The Guardian, visibly alarmed: \u201cWith RSF approval, aid convoys were allowed into Darfur, but not to El-Fasher\u2014only to Mellit, 56 miles north. The convoy arrived at noon.\u201d<\/p>\n

What followed? RSF drones struck the convoy, destroying three of its 16 trucks.<\/p>\n

Separately, a UN official told the paper: \u201cThe RSF warned that UN aircraft are legitimate targets. They refused us safe passage.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is the reality. Yet Paul, eager to polish the RSF\u2019s \u201chumanitarian face,\u201d spews lies refuted by facts on the ground. El-Fasher remains under total siege, no aid is reaching it, people are starving\u2014and the militia has never once allowed relief to pass through.<\/p>\n

Such deception does not merely mislead international opinion; it deepens the agony of trapped civilians who die daily from hunger and lack of medicine, while a U.S. official works to whitewash a criminal militia.<\/p>\n

\nPaul did not stop at deception. He leapt straight into fabrication, telling Bloomberg on September 24: \u201cThe warring parties in Sudan are close to entering direct talks to end one of the world\u2019s worst crises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is that fact, wishful thinking, or some new covert U.S. proposal? What gives Paul such optimism when militias have scuttled every mediation effort\u2014whether U.S.-backed or otherwise? The Quartet failed. Geneva failed. London failed. IGAD failed. What\u2019s different now?<\/p>\n

If this is a fresh U.S. initiative, it signals Washington\u2019s quiet burial of the Quartet and a unilateral push for direct mediation. But we\u2019ve seen this movie before\u2014Jeddah\u2019s Declaration fell apart, the RSF never abided by its commitments, and nothing was achieved. What, then, is new? The RSF has been driven back militarily, and so Paul scrambles to propose direct U.S.-led talks\u2014talks doomed to fail, even if Washington manages to strong-arm Khartoum into the room.<\/p>\n

\nPaul\u2019s lies and deceptions are little more than a desperate attempt to salvage a floundering mission. In truth, he has waded into a crisis he does not understand, floundering with less sense than his boss.<\/p>\n

The real danger of Paul\u2019s deception is not measured in words alone, but in its direct consequences: the laundering of documented crimes and violations. When truth is replaced by political hedging, wars last longer and humanitarian costs multiply.<\/p>\n

What Sudanese need today is not hollow statements that cloak the criminals, but a clear stance that holds accountable those funding and arming militias. Any discourse that evades this reality\u2014as Paul\u2019s does\u2014is complicity in crime and a license for impunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
