Amnesty International says Chinese-made weapons exported to the UAE were used by Sudan's RSF in breach of the UN arms embargo; the UAE calls the claims baseless.

In May 2025, Amnesty International said it identified a Chinese-made Norinco AH-4 155mm howitzer in video of weapons the Rapid Support Forces left behind when it retreated from Khartoum, and Norinco GB50A guided bombs in an RSF drone strike in North Darfur in March 2025. Amnesty cited SIPRI data that the UAE is the only country known to have imported the AH-4 from China, and said this indicated a breach of the UN Darfur arms embargo.
