US Firing Squad: Anduril Partners With UAE Bomb Maker Accused of Arming Sudan’s Genocide.
In a shocking move, US-based arms manufacturer Anduril has partnered with EDGE Group, a state-run bomb maker from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accused of arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, who have been accused of genocide.
The partnership between Anduril and EDGE Group is part of a joint venture aimed at developing autonomous weapons systems. This move raises serious questions about the morality and ethics of collaborating with a regime that has been accused of human rights abuses.
The RSF's involvement in a "genocide" is no longer disputed, according to experts, who have estimated that around 60,000 people may have lost their lives due to the group's actions. This revelation underscores the gravity of the situation and highlights the urgent need for greater accountability from Western governments and corporations like Anduril.
Anduril's involvement in the conflict comes despite its claims of being an "arsenal of democracy" with a mission to protect the West's values. The company's CEO, Palmer Luckey, has long argued that soldiers defending Western values should be considered superheroes with superpowers.
However, experts have accused Anduril of hypocrisy and pointed out that the company is more interested in profiting from its business ventures than in upholding democratic principles.
Sam Perlo-Freeman, a researcher at the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, stated that "Arms supplies to allies and proxies across the Middle East, North, and East Africa has been for quite a while a major facet of Emirati state policy." He also highlighted that EDGE Group represents the bulk of the UAE's arms industry by volume.
Furthermore, human rights groups have raised concerns about the company's role in supporting proxy forces and its lack of transparency regarding its business practices.
The partnership between Anduril and EDGE Group underscores a broader pattern of Western governments and corporations turning a blind eye to human rights abuses committed by authoritarian regimes like the UAE.
Anduril is just one example of how corporate interests can undermine democratic values when given unchecked power, as this bomb maker’s involvement with a regime that has been accused of genocide serves as an alarming reminder.

I'm seriously concerned about Anduril's partnership with EDGE Group from the UAE. It seems like they're more interested in making a quick buck than holding themselves and others accountable for human rights abuses. The fact that they're developing autonomous weapons systems is just jaw-dropping, especially when you consider the atrocities committed by the RSF in Sudan.
The lack of transparency from Anduril and other corporations is staggering.
We need to make some noise about this and demand change!
The more I think about it, the more I realize that our actions have consequences... or rather, the lack thereof. We talk a lot about doing what's right, but sometimes we let profit and power cloud our judgment. 
This partnership between Anduril and EDGE Group is like a dark mirror reflecting our own flaws – we're willing to overlook human rights abuses for the sake of business. It's time for us to take a step back and ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to create? 
One where greed trumps morality, or one where we stand up for what's right, even if it's hard? 
The choice is ours...
, but I gotta say, partnering with EDGE Group from the UAE makes me super uncomfortable 
. They're basically responsible for arming the RSF in Sudan, who have been accused of one of the worst genocides in recent history... 60k+ people lost their lives, dude 
.
. Can't we prioritize people over profits for once? 
. And what's with their whole "arsenal of democracy" thing? Is that just marketing speak or do they really believe it? 
It feels like they're all about the Benjamins 
how can they justify arming people who are committing genocide? its all about profit over people, ugh 
we need more accountability from big corps like anduril! corporations have a responsibility to respect human rights & values 
. I'm not buying the whole superhero thing either... it feels like a pretty convenient excuse for corporate greed. And what's even more worrying is how this partnership highlights the bigger issue of Western governments and corporations turning a blind eye to human rights abuses 
. We should be holding people accountable, not just going along with whatever suits their business interests 
.
It sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie. And Palmer Luckey's comment about soldiers being superheroes is just cringeworthy 
.
. We can't just ignore human rights abuses and expect everything to magically fix itself 
That doesn't sound very democratic to me at all 
. And let's be real, their claim that they're protecting Western values is just a bunch of hype 
. What really matters is the profit 
. The fact that human rights groups are crying foul over this partnership should give us all pause 
is just laughable. I mean, what about human rights? What about accountability? 
. I'm not buying it. isn't there some sort of accountability for these big companies when they get involved in shady dealings? 
. what's going on with our world? 
really? that sounds like some bs to me... Palmer Luckey needs to explain what exactly "defending Western values" means in this context, cuz it doesn't sound like protecting people to me... and btw how can a company claim to be an "arsenal of democracy" when they're working with a country accused of genocide?
