UAE gave Chinese-made weapons to Sudan, breaching arms embargo
The United Arab Emirates is giving Chinese-made weapons to Sudan, despite an arms embargo, prompting Amnesty to call on China to halt sales to the Gulf country, Middle East Eye reported on May 8th.
Amnesty International said that it has identified that weapons produced in China had been seized in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital.
The human rights organisation said that as China has agreed to the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), it should stop sales to the UAE so that weapons are not exported to Sudan’s Rapid Support forces (RSF). The RSF is a paramilitary group which is alleged to have committed extensive ethnic cleansing, sexual and rights abuses in the North African nation.
