Washington Pushes for Broader Darfur Arms Ban

The United States calls on the Security Council to expand the arms embargo currently imposed on Darfur to cover all of Sudan, in order to prevent the escalation of the ongoing conflict that has lasted for four years, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of millions. The American proposal includes listing drones as prohibited weapons and increasing monitoring of sanctions enforcement. The current arms embargo is set to expire in September 2026 unless extended or amended. UN and international officials believe that the continued flow of weapons deepens the complexity of the conflict and leads to the use of advanced and intensive weaponry, despite some countries opposing the initiative. The war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces continues, with intense escalation in Darfur, involving killings and attacks, while the international community warns of a deterioration in humanitarian conditions.
