US rapper Macklemore said he would pull out of an upcoming Dubai show in solidarity with the Sudanese people.
Macklemore has announced he is cancelling an upcoming show in Dubai over the United Arab Emirates' involvement in the conflict in Sudan, charges the Gulf state has denied. The rapper best known for hits like 2012's Thrift Shop made the announcement in a post on social media on Saturday. "I have decided to cancel my upcoming show in Dubai this October", he said.
In June, Sudan's ambassador to the United Nations Al-Harith Idriss al-Harith Mohamed called Abu Dhabi's financial and military support for the RSF the "main reason behind this protracted war". The UAE has denied allegations of RSF support as "disinformation", saying that its efforts are focused exclusively towards de-escalation and alleviating Sudan's humanitarian suffering.
