Amnesty International has reported that advanced Chinese-made weaponry, including GB50A guided bombs and 155mm AH-4 howitzers manufactured by China's state-owned Norinco Group, have been identified in use by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. The weapons were likely re-exported to Sudan by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which would violate an existing arms embargo. The RSF is a paramilitary group engaged in a violent conflict with Sudan's regular army. Amnesty International's investigation found these Chinese weapons captured in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. However, the UAE has denied these allegations, calling the Amnesty report baseless and lacking substantiated evidence. The UAE stated that it does not supply arms to any parties involved in the Sudanese conflict. The issue has drawn attention to the flow of Chinese arms into Sudan amid ongoing violence.
