Amnesty International Alleges French Arms Violate UN Embargo in Sudan Conflict
Amnesty International claims that French military technology is being used in Sudan’s civil war, violating a longstanding UN arms embargo. The rights group highlights the use of Galix defense systems, manufactured in France, found on vehicles operated by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in Darfur. While the UAE has previously denied supplying arms, Amnesty asserts that if France cannot control its weapons exports to prevent diversion, it must halt those transfers. The ongoing conflict has led to significant human rights violations and a humanitarian crisis, with calls for stricter controls on arms supply to Sudan.
