Part 13/21:
Amnesty International's findings drew attention to the external factors exacerbating the conflict, particularly the involvement of foreign military equipment, much of which has been supplied to the warring factions. Reports detail how military support from countries, including those in Western Europe, has inadvertently fueled the ongoing violence. Military aid to the Sudanese armed forces and paramilitary groups has only served to prolong suffering and instability.
International bodies, including the UN, have acknowledged the severity of the situation but have struggled to galvanize an effective response. The arms embargo established in 2004 is routinely violated, reflecting a lack of enforceability and accountability from the international community.
