> The UN Security Council unanimously extended the arms embargo on Sudan’s Darfur region for two months, keeping the sanctions regime in place until December 11. Russia and China opposed a US proposal to extend the embargo across Sudan, preventing agreement. The war has killed at least 59,000 people and displaced about 13 million, according to the report.
