UN extends Darfur arms embargo as US seeks nationwide ban

Original: UN Security Council extends arms embargo in Sudan's Darfur as US pushes for nationwide ban

The UN Security Council has voted to extend the arms embargo covering Sudan's Darfur region, while the United States is pushing for the restriction to be expanded to cover the entire country. The move comes as Sudan's civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces continues to fuel one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with weapons flows a central concern.

Why now: Sudan's devastating civil war keeps international attention on arms supplies and diplomatic moves at the UN.
