US pushes UN Security Council weapons embargo on Sudan to stem conflict

Two senior US officials argue in Foreign Policy that a UN Security Council weapons embargo is a necessary precondition for peace in Sudan, signaling a shift toward coercive diplomacy amid the ongoing civil war. The piece is an advocacy op-ed, not a policy announcement, so the actual US position and likelihood of Security Council action remain uncertain. If adopted, an embargo would constrain arms flows to both the SAF and RSF, potentially altering the conflict's trajectory.
