Sudan’s military government has condemned the new European Union (EU) sanctions targeting entities affiliated with the junta, describing the measures as legally unfounded and politically imbalanced.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Khartoum accused the EU of equating the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) with “unlawful rebel militias” that have perpetrated grave human rights abuses.
