"To bring the fighting to a halt, Sudan’s Western partners should target the warring parties’ business networks, and particularly their foreign branches, which are most vulnerable to external pressure. This can be achieved through targeted sanctions against companies that generate revenue for the generals, while delivering no benefits for the population – gold mining companies, for instance. In addition, Western countries should nudge Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – the main foreign backers of the SAF and the RSF respectively – to roll back the support they provide to the warring parties, including by enabling the operations of their business networks.

Sudanese Warring Parties’ Access To New Foreign-Made Weapons and Equipment Human Rights Watch September 9, 2024
Human Rights Watch documented the use of other apparently newly acquired foreign-made equipment—including armed drones, truck-mounted multi-barrel rocket launchers, drone jammers, and anti-tank guided missiles—in regions of Sudan beyond Darfur, such as Kordofan and the Khartoum area. Human Rights Watch also found clear incidents involving such equipment being used in apparent unlawful attacks: using drones, in at least two incidents, SAF-affiliated fighters killed and injured unarmed people in civilian clothes in the Khartoum area in January and March 2024. These findings highlight the inadequacy of an arms embargo exclusively focused on Darfur, not Sudan as a whole.
