French Weapons Allegedly Used in Sudan Conflict Breach UN Embargo

Amnesty International reports French-made military systems are being utilized by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, potentially violating international arms regulations.

Amnesty International has identified French-designed Galix defense systems on UAE-manufactured vehicles used by the RSF in Sudan.
The use of these systems in Darfur may violate a UN arms embargo imposed on the region since 2004.
The ongoing civil war in Sudan has resulted in over 20,000 deaths and displaced more than 11 million people since April 2023.
Amnesty urges France to halt the supply of these defense systems to the UAE to prevent further violations.
Both the RSF and Sudanese army have been accused of war crimes, with external arms supplies fueling the conflict.
