EU prolongs Sudan sanctions for another year --[Reported by Umva mag]

The restrictive measures, which include travel bans and asset freezes, will remain in place until October 10, 2025.

The EU’s decision comes amid ongoing clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their affiliated militias. The sanctions target six individuals and six entities deemed responsible for supporting destabilizing activities in the country.

The EU first imposed sanctions on six entities in January 2024, followed by additional measures against six individuals in June 2024. These measures aim to pressure the warring parties to cease hostilities and engage in a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

In September 2024, the EU High Representative issued a statement condemning the RSF’s siege of El Fasher and urging all parties to adhere to international humanitarian law. The EU called for an immediate de-escalation of violence, protection of civilians, and unhindered humanitarian access.

The prolonged sanctions demonstrate the EU’s commitment to supporting a peaceful and inclusive political transition in Sudan and holding those responsible for the ongoing violence accountable.
