New Weapons from What Countries Fuel Sudan Conflict?

 Amnesty International posted on 29 July 2024 a report titled "New Weapons Fuelling the Sudan Conflict."

The existing United Nations arms embargo on Darfur is completely ineffective.  Recently manufactured weapons and military equipment from Russia, China, Turkiye, and the United Arab Emirates are being imported in large quantities into Sudan and then diverted to Darfur.  Recently transferred small arms and ammunition from Serbia, Yemen, and China are being used on the battlefield by various parties to the conflict.  All states are prohibited from transferring or permitting private actors to transfer weapons to a party to an armed conflict where there is a clear risk it would contribute to the commission of international humanitarian law violations.
