Sudan: Continuing Efforts to Expand the Arms Embargo in Sudan

The United States has decided to support a technical extension of the Security Council resolution on the Darfur arms embargo until December 11, according to discussions with Quad partners, allies, and UN Security Council members. This decision aims to provide additional time for diplomatic efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement, humanitarian truce, and durable ceasefire in Sudan.

The extension reflects the U.S.'s commitment to allowing diplomacy to yield tangible results and alleviate the suffering of Sudanese people, paving the way for inclusive national dialogue and civilian-led governance. The U.S. remains dedicated to strengthening the arms embargo to shield civilians from the war's devastating impact, particularly the threat of drones and advanced weaponry.

External military support to the conflicting factions must cease, as it prolongs violence, undermines diplomacy, and exacerbates the humanitarian crisis. Neighboring countries must stop providing platforms for further conflict and destruction in Sudan. The Sudanese people have endured enough suffering and demand an immediate end to violence, unhindered humanitarian access, and a credible path to lasting peace.

Their aspirations must be at the forefront of any political process. President Trump echoed this sentiment. The unanimous support of the UN Security Council for this technical rollover underscores the importance of unity and shared responsibility.
