Pakistan sends advanced weapons worth billions to stoke civil war in this Muslim country, 70000 already killed, the country is...
New Delhi: The United Nations has banned the supply of weapons to Sudan, which is suffering due to a civil war. The reason behind this is that the country's army is fighting a civil war, divided into two parts. So far, the Sudan civil war has claimed more than 70 thousand lives. Now, Pakistan has made a deal worth 1.5 billion dollars with the army of north-eastern Sudan. Under this deal, Pakistan will give fighter planes, engines, armoured vehicles and a large number of drones to the military junta led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. What deal has Pakistan signed with the Sudan armed forces?
Pakistan has made this deal at a time when Sudan has been devastated by the civil war, and the army there, trapped in the grip of international sanctions, is continuously aggravating the humanitarian crisis. It is believed that the payment for this deal will be made by a third country. Reportedly, the army in Sudan does not shy away from killing the civilian population, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 70 thousand people, while the actual figure is expected to be more than one lakh. According to ThePrint, this agreement was signed during the visit of Sudan Air Force Chief El Tahir Mohammad El Amin to Islamabad, where he met Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, Air Force Chief and other senior military officials. What sanctions have Western countries imposed on Sudan?
Pakistan has made an arms deal with the Sudan army at a time when Western countries have banned any kind of arms deal with Sudan. On the other hand, with this arms deal, Pakistan has also got entangled in the ongoing competition between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to the Swiss government's sanctions documents, Sudan Army Chief El Amin has been held responsible for indiscriminate bombing in civilian areas. These attacks caused massive destruction in areas like Khartoum, Omdurman, Nyala in South Darfur and North Kordofan. In May 2023, hundreds of people were killed in air strikes on East Nile Hospital in Khartoum and Babiker Nahar Pediatric Hospital in El-Fasher in May 2024. What did the US say?
Earlier this year, the US Finance Department had also imposed sanctions on Al-Burhan, the head of Sudan's army SAF. The US had said that Burhan had dropped bombs dozens of times on the local population, crowded markets, schools and hospitals, killing a large number of civilians. Yet Pakistan has signed an arms deal with the SAF. Pakistan's myth of being a champion of Muslims is shattered
This completely exposes Pakistan's dangerous hypocrisy and double standards. Pakistan, which always tries to show itself as a champion of the global Muslim community, did not care that the weapons supplied by it would kill Muslims.
The Sudan civil war started in 2023, and till now, more than one lakh people have been killed.
According to the report, Pakistan will sell over 10 units of K-8 Karakoram light combat aircraft, engines of MiG-21 fighter aircraft, HQ-9 and HQ-6 air defense systems, armoured vehicles and hundreds of drones to SAF.
