A United Nations report has cited Turkish-made rifles in Sudan despite a UN arms embargo, according to findings presented to the Security Council in July.

The report by a UN panel of experts alleged that rifles manufactured in Turkey were recovered from the Sudanese army and armed groups fighting in the conflict that began in April 2023.
