Sudan rights coalition urges UN to disclose SAF’s foreign supporters
The Sudan Coalition called on the UN Human Rights Council to publicly name countries and entities supporting the Sudanese Armed Forces in the civil war and to renew the mandate of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan. The coalition criticized the mission's methodology and the early publication of its report on external support, urging it to address all states and entities providing support without selectivity. The UN fact-finding mission had warned that foreign arms and technology are strengthening both sides and enabling attacks on civilians.
Why it matters: This relates to the theme of external intervention in civil conflicts, as the coalition demands transparency on foreign support to the SAF and the renewal of the UN investigation mandate.
