US Envoy Pushes for Nationwide Arms Embargo Amid Escalating Drone Attacks in Sudan

The US envoy to Sudan has called for a Sudan-wide arms embargo amid escalating drone attacks in the country, which are largely attributed to rebels in the Darfur region. The existing 20-year-old Darfur region arms embargo is set to expire next month unless it is amended or renewed. Observers say the current embargo has had limited impact in curbing the conflict. The US envoy's push for a broader ban is seen as an attempt to address the growing humanitarian crisis and stabilize the country.
