The European Parliament is considering a halt to trade negotiations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to allegations that the country is facilitating the transfer of European-made weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. This follows a UN investigation into the origins of these weapons, which have been linked to extensive atrocities committed by the RSF. Some MEPs argue that trade negotiations should be leveraged to prevent further arms exports, while others advocate for direct sanctions against those involved in the conflict. The ongoing civil war in Sudan has already displaced millions and raised fears of a migration crisis as refugees seek safety in Europe. The situation is further complicated by the Sudanese government's confirmation of foreign weapons being used by the RSF, prompting calls for increased humanitarian aid and action from the EU.
