Darfur: New weapons from China and Russia fuelling conflict
An estimated 70,000 people were displaced from eastern Darfur in 2011 in a wave of ethnically targeted attacks Sudanese government forces and militias.
“China and Russia are selling arms to the Government of Sudan in the full knowledge that many of them are likely to end up being used to commit human rights violations in Darfur... To help prevent further serious violations of human rights, all international arms transfers to Sudan should be immediately suspended and the UN arms embargo extended to the whole country.”
