<![CDATA[The Grey Space | Sudan Proxy War & UAE Foreign Policy Investigation]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-grey-space This is The Grey Space.

A podcast about power, war, and influence in the space between diplomacy and deniability.

In this three part series, we examine the hidden networks behind the war in Sudan — from gold markets and cargo flights to intelligence ties, private military networks, and global finance.

At the center is growing scrutiny of the United Arab Emirates, a state known for stability and modernity, yet increasingly linked by investigators and journalists to major proxy conflicts.

It is admired globally for its infrastructure, economic ambition, technological modernization, and political stability. To many observers, it represents one of the most successful state-building projects in the modern Arab world.

But critics—including journalists, human rights investigators, UN panels, and sanctions authorities—argue that behind this image lies another story: the rise of a highly centralized security state capable of projecting power far beyond its borders through networks that combine finance, intelligence, logistics, and military influence.

This series examines that argument.
