UN Security Council extends arms embargo on Sudan's Darfur region

The United Nations Security Council has extended the arms embargo on Sudan's Darfur region for two months. The decision rejected a proposal from the United States to expand the restrictions nationwide following opposition from Russia and China. It remains unconfirmed whether further extensions or expansions will be considered when the two-month period ends.
