EU Extends Sanctions to Impact Sudan Conflict

The European Union has extended sanctions on key players in Sudan's war, affecting ten individuals and eight entities. These sanctions, which include travel bans and asset freezes, target those involved in manufacturing and procuring military equipment for Sudan's regular army and paramilitary forces.

The European Union announced on Monday that it will extend its sanctions against pivotal figures in the ongoing conflict in Sudan. These sanctions, which involve asset freezes and travel bans, will now remain in place for another year, lasting until October 10, 2026.

The sanctions list includes ten individuals and eight entities. Among these are companies that manufacture weapons and vehicles for Sudan's regular army, known as the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). Additional companies involved in procuring military equipment for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are also targeted.

This move underscores the EU's continued commitment to curbing the supply of military resources in the region, with an aim to mitigate the intensifying war in Sudan.
