The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution on Wednesday, extending sanctions on Sudan until September 2025.
“Renewing these sanctions will help restrict the flow of arms into Darfur and target individuals and entities involved in destabilizing Sudan. This is crucial for ending the ongoing conflict, addressing the humanitarian crisis, and restoring stability in Sudan. The United States remains dedicated to supporting the Sudanese people and will continue to collaborate closely with Sudan,” stated Robert A. Wood, the U.S. Alternate Representative for Special Political Affairs at the UN.
The Council unanimously adopted the draft resolution on September 11, extending the Sudan sanctions regime, including asset freezes, travel bans, and an arms embargo, until September 12, 2025. This action builds on measures previously renewed in March 2023.
Sudan’s representative, Al-Harith Idriss al-Harith Mohamed, accused the UAE of supporting militias involved in war crimes in Darfur. In response, UAE representative Mohamed Abushahab dismissed the claims as baseless, calling them an attempt to divert attention from the Sudanese Armed Forces’ failures.
