The United Nations Security Council extended an arms embargo on Sudan’s Darfur region for two more months but did not agree to expand it nationwide due to opposition from Russia and China. The resolution was adopted unanimously on Thursday, extending existing sanctions until December 11 and the mandate of the monitoring panel until January 2027. Despite calls from the US to broaden the embargo in response to ongoing violence that has killed at least 59,000 people since April 2023, other permanent council members maintained their stance against wider sanctions.

Story summary
The United Nations Security Council extended the arms embargo on Sudan’s Darfur region by two months until December 11 but did not agree to widen it to cover the entire country. The US proposed expanding sanctions, but permanent members Russia and China opposed this move. The council unanimously adopted Resolution 2830, which also extends the mandate of the panel monitoring these measures until January 11, 2027. This decision was framed as a short-term "technical rollover" after the last extension on September 11. Sanctions were first imposed in 2005 under Resolution 1591, including an arms embargo, travel ban, asset freeze, and a five-member monitoring panel.
