UN Security Council extends arms embargo on Sudan's Darfur region

The UN Security Council has unanimously voted to extend the arms embargo on Sudan's Darfur region for one month. This decision comes amid ongoing negotiations regarding a proposed nationwide ban aimed at pressuring the warring parties to end the conflict that began in April 2023. The U.S. has called for broader sanctions, while Russia has opposed any expansion, arguing it could destabilize the region further.
