Last update: 7 hours agoUN Human Rights on Sudan’s war economy: A new OHCHR report says Sudan’s conflict is being sustained by a “self-perpetuating” war economy, with armed groups profiting from control of territory, trade routes and commodities—spotlighting gum arabic’s global supply chain and warning of human-rights risks for states and companies involved. El-Obeid under pressure: UN officials warn RSF forces have gathered outside El-Obeid, with hundreds of thousands facing shortages of food, water and medicine and fears of another catastrophe. G7 diplomacy: G7 foreign ministers urged Sudan’s army and RSF to stop attacks on civilians, allow humanitarian access, and back serious peace talks, while calling for a wider arms embargo across Sudan. US-Iraq energy politics (regional spillover): As Iraq’s PM Ali al-Zaidi visits Washington, reports say a major pipeline deal is being lined up—showing how regional energy bargaining continues alongside Sudan’s crisis. Gum arabic spotlight: Separate coverage reiterates that gum arabic remains a key Sudan export, but the trade is increasingly shaped by the war, raising questions about accountability and sanctions effectiveness. Health backdrop: UN data shows immunisation gains are fragile, with millions of “zero-dose” children still unprotected—another pressure point for Sudan’s humanitarian response.
