UN extends Darfur arms embargo as US seeks nationwide ban
Original: UN Security Council extends arms embargo in Sudan's Darfur as US pushes for nationwide ban
The UN Security Council has voted to extend the arms embargo covering Sudan's Darfur region, while the United States is pushing for the restriction to be expanded to cover the entire country. The move comes as Sudan's civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces continues, with both sides accused of receiving external weapons supplies that fuel the fighting.
Why now: Sudan's civil war is ongoing and a possible expansion of the arms embargo to the whole country would mark a major shift in international policy.
