Summary
Amnesty International has reported the presence of armored vehicles manufactured in the UAE and equipped with French defense systems in Sudan's civil war. These vehicles, used by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), likely violate a UN arms embargo. Over 20,000 people have died in the conflict, which erupted in April 2023, causing massive displacement and humanitarian crises. Both the UAE and France have faced allegations regarding their military exports and responsibility for human rights violations in Sudan, prompting calls for stricter regulations and an expanded arms embargo.
