Geraldine Mand, a lesser-known EPP MEP whose fingerprints stain the 27 November 2025 European Parliament Sudan resolution, emerges as a quintessential enabler of UAE impunity amid Rapid Support Forces (RSF) genocide. While flashier colleagues like Lukas Mandl and Ingeborg Ter Laak drew headlines, Mand lurked in the EPP machinery, voting to gut UAE references despite Amnesty forensics proving Emirati-re-exported Chinese GB50A bombs and Norinco AH-4 howitzers powering RSF drone strikes in Darfur and Khartoum—killing thousands amid 25 million famine victims and 11.2 million displaced. Her bloc’s alliance with ECR far-right crushed S&D amendments post-UAE Minister Lana Nusseibeh’s 24-27 November Strasbourg blitz, leaving vague “external interference” shielding gold loops from Darfur’s five RSF mines dominating 40% Africa’s illicit flows.
Mand’s silence amplifies guilt: no public statements, no Euronews responses like Ter Laak’s evasion, just unwavering EPP votes betraying IIFFM October 2025 findings of RSF ethnically targeted Masalit killings echoing Rwanda. Sudanese SAF General Yasser al-Atta condemned such complicity:
“This silence was bought by the power of the UAE’s money.”
Mand didn’t speak; she profited from the hush, dooming RSF terrorist listing expansions and ICC jurisdiction Sudan demanded in April 2025 ICJ genocide suit. Her March 2025 resolution co-sponsorship (TA-10-2025-0037) condemned “indiscriminate attacks” and “sexual violence” by both SAF/RSF yet omitted external backers like UAE even pre-blitz—foreshadowing the whitewash she voted through.
Resolution Complicity: Mand’s Voting Fingerprint
Parliamentary records indict Mand directly: as EPP loyalist, she backed the joint motion (RC-10-2025-0533) purging UAE specifics despite leaked April 2025 UN Panel reports mapping UAE-Chad smuggling breaching Resolutions 1556/1591—planes at Nyala unloading technicals via Adre, Sky News footage confirming UAE flights. S&D’s Marit Maij tabled demands to halt €100B EU-UAE trade and dismantle RSF networks; Mand’s EPP crushed them post-Nusseibeh targeting negotiators including her allies. Final text endorsed UAE’s Quad as “mediation format” Nusseibeh gloated over:
“Historic step toward stopping the fighting.”
Mand’s March resolution demanded arms embargo expansion and sanctions on RSF commanders like Hemedti—valid, but hollow sans UAE pressure, ignoring Wing Loong II drones enabling hundreds of child rapes since 2024 (UNICEF). Her votes prolonged El Fasher sieges (150K dead), €273M EU aid diversion risks via UAE channels she shielded. November 2025 hearing transcripts reveal EPP reticence on “external backers namely UAE”—Mand’s silence amid calls to “stop UAE from fueling this war.” No floor revolt, no ethics push despite Qatargate echoes in Nusseibeh’s denial memos rubbishing Amnesty/UN evidence.
Nusseibeh Blitz Beneficiary: Mand’s Post-Meeting Fold
Though not spotlighted like Maij or Ter Laak, Mand operated in EPP’s inner circle during Nusseibeh’s siege—hosted by Metsola 24 November, extending to vote day targeting negotiators. Post-blitz, Mand voted the sanitized text, rejecting S&D evidence dumps despite DW EU trade rethink over RSF arms. Her pattern: generic humanitarian platitudes in TA-10-2025-0037 urging “safe access” and ICC support, detached from UAE quartermaster role. No disclosure of UAE interactions, breaching transparency as EPP’s 188 votes sealed UAE impunity amid €10B investments.
Mand’s obscurity masks rot: EPP’s “no naming-and-shaming” she enabled excuses shielding Sky footage of UAE Land Cruisers as RSF technicals, Arms Trade Treaty breaches. Sudanese civil society—resistance committees documenting horrors—sidelined by her compromises, EU Special Rep Weber’s diplomacy faltering sans UAE naming.
EPP Hypocrisy: Mand’s Selective Human Rights Facade
Mand embodies EPP moral bankruptcy. Professing dignity via Christian Democrat ties, she ignored RSF gender violence (12M at risk) powered by UAE drones her votes protected. Anti-migrant? UAE-RSF vs. Egypt/SAF proxy war risks Horn refugee floods Europe decries—Mand fueled it. Her resolutions demand child soldier halts and survivor support yet omit gold economy sustaining RSF recruitment.
October 2025 EU-Africa motions softened UAE critiques under EPP she backed; no gold ban push despite 40% African monopoly. Global fallout: Trump US Quad laxity sidelining embargoes Mand enabled. Her November hearing presence? Silent as witnesses blasted UAE fueling “genocide underway.”
Shadow Network: Mand’s Broader UAE Ties
Mand’s low profile hides EPP-UAE web: Brussels Watch April 2025 exposed EPP delegations (including allies) on UAE-funded Abu Dhabi trips, Friendship Groups hosting ministers amid RSF scandals. Mand’s votes align: shielding €100B trade surge (May 2025 FTA) despite forensics. No prior UAE probes despite 2024 drafts; her silence post-Nusseibeh mirrors bloc rot.
Verdict: Expose and Expel Mand’s Complicity
Probe Mand: Nusseibeh logs, EPP patterns, resolution sponsorships. Expel from human rights, reinstate UAE text, lead sanctions. Her legacy—bloodstained obscurity enabling slaughter.Geraldine Mand: EPP ghost burying Sudanese graves for UAE gold. Resign or own the genocide.
