Summary
The United States is urging beefed-up U.N. sanctions against the warring parties in Sudan to build pressure on them to negotiate an end to the fighting that has killed at least 59,000 people, displaced some 13 million and pushed many parts of the African nation into famine. The proposed resolution demands that all countries “cease any direct or indirect support to the warring parties, be it logistical, financial or military, which enables conflict to continue.” The conflict exploded from a power struggle that emerged following Sudan’s transition to democracy after an uprising forced the military ouster of longtime autocratic President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. Tensions boiled over three years later between Sudan’s military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, who chairs the ruling sovereign council, and RSF commander Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who was Burhan’s deputy.
Furthermore, President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, told the U.N. Security Council on Monday that financial, military and political support given to either the government forces or the rival paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces , remains a driver of the conflict, now in its fourth year. Rights groups have said the use of unmanned aircraft has become increasingly common in the northeast African nation’s war. Boulos said a proposed U.S. resolution before the U.N. Security Council would expand the arms embargo throughout Sudan.
In addition, Egypt has been a vocal supporter of Sudan’s military, while the United Arab Emirates is accused by U.N. experts and human rights groups of providing arms to the RSF, which it has repeatedly denied.
