EU and UAE agree to launch free trade talks

5 comments

1. This really goes to show how little people care about Sudan.

   Imagine if the EU launched talks with Russia for a free trade agreement. Imagine if the EU launched these talks with Israel or the Taliban or Myanmar. There would be protests, condemnations, outcry.

   I wouldn’t be surprised if Sudanese gold is one of the items that can be traded tariff free.

2. What were you double-faced twats saying about “The Land Of The Free” again? Something about human rights and “””western values”””? Whatever happened to that?

3. And here I was happy that EU partnership was shaky with US who is facilitating a genocide and has a love for killing brown people.

   But they jump right into talks with a country that’s just as bad? Infuriating.

4. A number of the comments here are just assuming that the EU is going to bend over and ignore any human rights issues. This is just press release telling the world that they are opening talks.

   Title: They are going to talk at some point.

   Comments: The EU is going to ignore human rights issues.

   Not how this works.

5. Based on the comments it looks like pragmatism and multi-vector diplomacy is only good when brown people do it. When India or China deal with the Taliban, Russia and African juntas they are playing 5D chess and putting their interest first, when Europe deals with Azerbaijan or UAE it’s twofaced imperial colonialists funding genocide, and we should cut ourselves from 80% of the world and only trade with Iceland and Costa Rica.
