Great Britain announced the introduction of sanctions against some Sudan enterprises for financing the conflict.
The written statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that new sanctions will be imposed against enterprises related to financing the warring parties in the first year after the start of the conflict in Sudan.
“strict measures will freeze assets and limit the financial freedom of companies related to the Sudanese army and the quick response forces (SBR),” the statement said.
The message emphasizes that the sanctions are a “clear signal” for the warring parties to stop fighting and begin a full -fledged peace process.
Some banks and mining companies fell under the sanctions.
– We urgently need to put an end to violence
Foreign Minister David Cameron said that a meaningless and cruel war in Sudan is destroying people’s lives. “A year later, from the beginning of the conflict, we continue to observe terrifying atrocities against civilians, unacceptable restrictions on humanitarian access and complete neglect of the life of the civilian population,” said Cameron.
Having emphasized that the guilty of violating human rights in Sudan, as well as the companies supporting the warring parties, must be held accountable, the minister added: “The world should not forget about Sudan. We urgently need to put an end to violence.”
