Sudanese Forces Advance in North Kordofan; UN Arms Embargo Expansion Fails
What happened
Over the past two weeks, the Sudanese Armed Forces achieved tactical victories, pushing back the Rapid Support Forces in North Kordofan and shutting down a threatening front along the border with Ethiopia. Separately, a U.S. campaign to expand the UN arms embargo to the entire country failed, forcing the withdrawal of the resolution.

Why it matters
These military advances position the Sudanese Armed Forces to attempt retaking Darfur. The failure of the international effort to secure a broader arms embargo suggests continued instability, which could affect the national economy of Sudan.
Sudanese fighters are advancing in Kordofan and conducting operations in West Darfur, while border clashes with Ethiopia and diplomatic activity in Rwanda are also reported.
