The UAE is hell bent on ending the fight in favour of the RSA as soon as possible since I hear that Al-burhan is making deals to reinforce his army by buying drones from Turkey and improving logisitic lines from Egypt

If what you wrote is true he will win fast after acquiring Turkish drones and logistics to feed his forces and supporters.

As I said, all fo what I said are rumors that I have heard; nothing can be truoy proven unless we see it on the battlefield.
However, training on Turkish drones and preparing logistics lines takes time and that is why Borhan's forces are stalling by blowing key bridges to major cities. Maybe that is why UAE-backed RSA are trying to kill him quickky even though they are winning the war till this moment
Dozens feared dead after dam bursts in eastern Sudan
Surging waters have burst through a dam, wiped out at least five villages and left an unknown number of people dead in eastern Sudan, officials said on Monday, devastating a region already reeling from months of civil war.
Torrential rains caused floods that overwhelmed the Arbaat Dam on Sunday just 40km (25 miles) north of Port Sudan, the de facto national capital and base for the government, diplomats, aid agencies and hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
"The area is unrecognisable. The electricity and water pipes are destroyed," Omar Eissa Haroun, head of the water authority for Red Sea state, said in a WhatsApp message to staff.
He said he had seen the bodies of gold miners and pieces of their equipment wrecked in the deluge, and likened the disaster to the devastation in the eastern Libyan city of Derna in September last year when storm waters burst dams, swept away buildings and killed thousands.
On the road to Arbaat on Monday a Reuters reporter saw people burying a man and covering his grave with driftwood to try to prevent it from being washed away in mudslides.
The dam was the main source of water for Port Sudan, which is home to the country's main Red Sea port and working airport, and receives most of the country's much-needed aid deliveries.
"The city is threatened with thirst in the coming days," the Sudanese Environmentalists Association said in a statement.
CRUMBLING INFRASTRUCTURE
Officials said the dam had started crumbling and silt had been building during days of heavy rain that had come much earlier than usual.Sudan's dams, roads and bridges were already in disrepair before the war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Forces began in April 2023.
Both sides have since funnelled the bulk of their resources into the conflict, leaving infrastructure badly neglected.
Some people had fled their flooded homes in five devastated villages and headed to the mountains where they were now stranded, the health ministry said.
On Monday, the government's rainy season taskforce said 132 people had been killed in floods across the country, up from 68 two weeks ago. At least 118,000 people have been displaced by the rains this year, according to United Nations agencies.
The conflict in Sudan began when competition between the army and the RSF, who had previously shared power after staging a coup, flared into open warfare.
The two sides had been seeking to protect their power and extensive economic interests as the international community promoted a plan for a transition towards civilian rule.
Overlapping efforts in pursuit of a ceasefire, including Saudi- and U.S.-led talks in Jeddah, have not eased the fighting and half of the 50 million population lack sufficient food.

Things aren't going well for UAE as well.
"UAE defense ministry announces the deaths of 4 soldiers and injuries to 9 soldiers. They "were carrying out their duty in the country." Military sources say Emiratis were killed in the attack by Sudan's air force on Nyala airport on Tuesday."

Honestly, I would like to see the UAE burn to hell but it is still to early to determine whether the situation is good or not for the RSF since there are dozens of UAE soldiers in sudan
Moreover, it is rumored that Eriteria, Israel, Ethiopia, and USA are more leaning towards RSF and the other axises such as Russia, Iran, China, and Turkey are demanding access to Uranium reserves, gold reserves and the right to build military ports in Sudan so the situation is super tough for Hamdouk and the Govt
On the other hand, the UAE has tons of money to spend and they have been stealing Sudan's gold for nearly a decade now so they have lots of leverage
