Sudan war fuelled by weapons from foreign actors in violation of sanctions - UN

[AFRICANEWS] The United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary Anne DiCarlo briefed the Security Council on the situation in Sudan
Sudan

...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
on Friday (Apr. 19).

The war in Sudan has sparked "a crisis of epic proportions" fuelled by weapons from foreign supporters who continue to flout U.N. sanctions, DiCarlo added.

"If the parties have been able to sustain their confrontation, it is in no small part thanks to the material support they receive from outside the Sudan," she said.

"These external actors continue to flout the sanctions regime imposed by the Council to support a political settlement, thereby fuelling the conflict. This is illegal, it is immoral and it must stop."

The sanctions regime imposed on Sudan by the resolution 1591 mentions parties in the conflict in Darfur which broke in the early 2000s. It includes an embargo on arms and ammunition as well as assets freezes.

Mohammed Ibn Chambas, chair of the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
panel on Sudan and high representative for its Silence the Guns in Africa initiative, called external interference "a major factor compounding both the efforts to negotiate a cease-fire and to stop the war."
