Sudan: US proposes expanding UN arms embargo

The US has proposed expanding a UN arms embargo to cover the entire country of Sudan, not just the Darfur region. This move is significant because it would restrict the flow of weapons to Sudan's military, which could impact the country's ability to wage war. The proposed expansion of the embargo is likely to be contentious, with Russia already warning that it would harm the Sudanese army.

Why it matters

The proposed expansion of the UN arms embargo could lead to increased tensions and instability in Sudan. This could negatively impact investor sentiment and lead to a decline in Sudanese assets.
