Macklemore says he canceled Dubai show over UAE’s purported role in “ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis” in Sudan
Rapper Macklemore said he’s canceled an upcoming concert in Dubai because of the United Arab Emirates’ role “in the ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis” in Sudan. He cited the UAE’s reported support for the paramilitary force that has been at war with government troops there.
The rapper’s announcement reignited attention to the UAE’s role in the war gripping the African nation. While the UAE repeatedly has denied arming the Rapid Support Forces and supporting its leader Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, United Nations experts reported “credible” evidence in January that the Emirates sent weapons to the RSF several times a week from northern Chad.
A civil war has raged in Sudan for more than a year, after simmering tensions between the country’s military and paramilitary leaders boiled over, and fighting broke out in the capital, Khartoum, before spreading to other regions, including Darfur. Estimates suggest over 18,800 people have been killed since then, while over 10 million have fled their homes and hundreds of thousands are on the brink of famine.
The International Rescue Committee, an aid agency, issued a “crisis alert” earlier this summer for the war-torn country, warning that a risk of famine was looming while the lack of political solutions left Sudan on the brink of a “catastrophe of historic scale.” CBS News spoke to several humanitarian groups at the time that said two million people could die of hunger-related causes if the situation in Sudan did not improve, and no additional humanitarian aid entered the country.
At a contentious U.N. Security Council meeting in June, Sudan’s embattled government directly accused the UAE of arming the RSF, and an Emirati diplomat angrily told his counterpart to stop “grandstanding.” The UAE has been a part of ongoing peace talks to end the fighting.
The Emirati Foreign Ministry offered no immediate comment on Macklemore’s public statement Sunday, nor did the city-state’s Dubai Media Office. Organizers last week announced the show had been canceled and refunds would be issued, without offering an explanation for the cancellation.
In a post Saturday on Instagram, Macklemore said he had a series of people “asking me to cancel the show in solidarity with the people of Sudan and to boycott doing business in the UAE for the role they are playing in the ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis.” The Grammy winner said he decided to cancel the planned show in Dubai, which was scheduled for October, and would not perform in the country “until the UAE stops arming and funding RSF,” referring to the paramilitary faction in Sudan called the Rapid Support Forces.
“I know that this will probably jeopardize my future shows in the area, and I truly hate letting any of my fans down,” his post continued. “I was really excited too. But until the UAE stops arming and funding the RSF I will not perform there.”
Macklemore said he reconsidered the show in part over his recent, public support of Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war raging in the Gaza Strip. He recently has begun performing a song called “Hind’s Hall,” in honor of a young girl named Hind Rajab killed in Gaza in a shooting Palestinians have blamed on Israeli forces opening fire on a civilian car.
“I know that this will probably jeopardize my future shows in the area, and I truly hate letting any of my fans down,” he wrote. “I was really excited too. But until the UAE stops arming and funding the RSF I will not perform there.”
He added: “I have no judgment against other artists performing in the UAE. But I do ask the question to my peers scheduled to play in Dubai: If we used our platforms to mobilize collective liberation, what could we accomplish?”
The RSF was formed out of the Janjaweed fighters under then-Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who ruled the country for three decades before being overthrown during a popular uprising in 2019. He is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide and other crimes during the conflict in Darfur in the 2000s.
Dubai, home to the long-haul carrier Emirates, the world’s tallest building the Burj Khalifa and other tourist destinations, long has tried to draw A-list performers in the city-state at a brand-new arena and other venues. However, performers in the past have acknowledged the difficulties in performing in the UAE, a hereditarily ruled federation of seven sheikhdoms in which speech is tightly controlled.
That includes American comedian Dave Chappelle, who drew attention in May in Abu Dhabi when he referred to the Israel-Hamas war as a “genocide” while also joking about the UAE’s vast surveillance apparatus.
Macklemore, a 41-year-old rapper born Benjamin Hammond Haggerty in Kent, Washington, won Grammy awards in 2014 for his breakout song, “Thrift Shop.”

Ukraine’s population has shrunk by 10 million since Russia first invaded, according to U.N. estimate
Geneva — Ukraine’s population has declined by around eight million since Russia invaded in February 2022, sparking an exodus and sending birth rates plunging, the United Nations said Tuesday. The U.N. Population Fund said there had not been a census, but that there clearly had been a dramatic population decline in war-torn Ukraine.
“Overall, Ukraine’s population has declined by an estimated 10 million since 2014 and by an estimated eight million since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022,” UNFPA’s regional director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia Florence Bauer said in comments sent to journalists.
Ukraine’s population stood at around 45 million in 2014, when Russia first invaded, occupying and annexing Crimea, the agency said, citing data from the national statistics office.
By February 2022, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the population had dwindled to 43 million, and it has plummeted further to just 35 million today, it said, citing a combination of government and UNFPA data.
Speaking to journalists in Geneva, Bauer said the dramatic decline was due to “a combination of factors”.
Already before the war, Ukraine had one of the lowest birth rates in Europe, and like many countries in Eastern Europe, it had seen many young people leave in search of more opportunities abroad, she said.
But in the two and a half years since the full-scale invasion, some 6.7 million people have fled the country as refugees while the birth rate has fallen to just around one child per woman, she said.
“That’s one of the lowest in the world,” she said, stressing that this was well below the theoretical replacement rate of 2.1 children that each woman on average must have to maintain the population size.
At the same time, Bauer said, there are the “several tens of thousands of casualties (from the war), which of course add to the equation.”
Neither Ukraine nor Russia have released casualty figures since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, but U.S. officials estimated in August 2023 that at least 70,000 Ukrainian service members had been killed. Since then Russia has made incremental gains along the vast front line stretching right across the east of the country.

Have $15,000 in credit card debt? Here’s what a debt forgiveness plan could cover.
With credit card interest rates sitting at about 23% on average, many Americans are finding it harder than ever to keep up with monthly payments. After all, the average cardholder’s credit card debt is roughly $8,000 currently, and at today’s average rates, the interest charges can rack up quickly. And when you add in the other economic hurdles that are looming, like elevated consumer goods prices due to the lingering effects of high inflation, things can become even more challenging.
The combination of record-high credit card rates and high prices on essentials has created a perfect storm for credit card debt accumulation. As expenses like housing and groceries consume larger portions of monthly budgets, more people have turned to credit cards as a financial lifeline, only to find themselves trapped in an escalating cycle of debt. And for those with higher balances, the strain caused by compounding interest can become overwhelming, trapping them in a cycle of debt with no clear way out.
The good news is, though that credit card debt forgiveness could offer a way to reduce your debt. These programs allow you to negotiate with your creditors to settle for a lower amount than what you owe, providing a potential lifeline. But if you have a $15,000 credit card debt, how much will credit card debt forgiveness cover?
Learn about your debt relief options here.
How much of a $15,000 credit card debt will a forgiveness plan cover?
Debt forgiveness programs aim to reduce, not eliminate, your credit card debt, so in most cases, you won’t walk away with a zero balance. By taking this route, though, you could potentially settle for much less than you owe.
Credit card debt forgiveness typically allows borrowers to reduce their outstanding debt by 30% to 50% if the negotiations are successful. So, in the case of a $15,000 balance, this means you might end up paying back anywhere from $7,500 to $10,500, depending on the agreement you come to with your creditors.
The amount of your credit card debt that’s forgiven, though, depends largely on your financial situation and ability to negotiate with creditors. One issue is that to be considered for a forgiveness plan, most debt relief companies require you to have a minimum debt threshold, often around $7,500, to enroll in the program.
However, being eligible doesn’t guarantee that the negotiations will be successful. Creditors aren’t required to negotiate with you at all — and showcasing that you’re facing financial hardship is an important part of the equation.
That’s because creditors are more likely to settle your debts for less than what you owe, so you typically need to demonstrate genuine financial hardship, such as job loss, medical issues or other significant financial setbacks, as part of the process. If you’ve consistently made your payments on time, you might not qualify, as creditors tend to prioritize borrowers who have missed payments, signaling more severe financial distress.
While missing payments could improve your chances of qualifying, this strategy comes with serious consequences for your credit score and financial standing. But despite these drawbacks, the potential to drastically reduce your overall debt load can make forgiveness plans an attractive option for those struggling to keep up with their payments.
Find out how to get rid of your credit card debt now.
What are my other debt relief options?
Debt forgiveness is just one way to tackle your high credit card balances. If you’re not a candidate for debt forgiveness or want to explore alternatives, there are several other options to consider, including:
- Debt consolidation: When you pursue debt consolidation, the goal is to combine multiple credit card debts into one loan with a lower interest rate, making it easier to manage payments and reduce overall costs. By consolidating, you can streamline your debt repayment and potentially shorten the time it takes to become debt-free.
- Debt management: Offered through credit counseling agencies, debt management programs help create structured repayment plans with lower interest rates and waived fees. These plans can make monthly payments more affordable and help you pay off debt faster without the need for negotiations with creditors.
- Balance transfers: Some credit cards offer 0% interest for a set introductory period, typically 12 to 21 months. Transferring your high-interest credit card debt to a card with a 0% APR allows you to save on interest and focus on paying down the principal balance.
Each of these options has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to carefully evaluate which one is best suited to your financial situation. Seeking professional advice from a debt expert can also help clarify the best path forward.
The bottom line
For those facing $15,000 or more in credit card debt, debt forgiveness could provide much-needed relief, but it’s unlikely to wipe out the entire balance. A successful negotiation with your creditors could reduce what you owe by a substantial amount, though, giving you room to breathe. However, it’s essential to consider all your debt relief options, including debt consolidation loans, debt management programs, and balance transfers, to find the solution that best fits your needs. The right strategy can make a world of difference in reducing your debt and restoring your financial stability.
