The United Nations Security Council has extended sanctions on Sudan until September 2025, following the adoption of a draft resolution on Wednesday. These measures, including asset freezes, travel bans, and an arms embargo, aim to restrict arms flow into Darfur and target individuals or entities involved in destabilizing Sudan. The U.S. representative, Robert A. Wood, emphasized the sanctions’ importance in addressing the humanitarian crisis and restoring stability in Sudan.
Sudan’s representative, Al-Harith Mohamed, accused the UAE of supporting militias committing war crimes in Darfur. The UAE’s Mohamed Abushahab refuted these claims as false and a diversion from Sudan’s internal issues.
