2) Why Sudan would look to Pakistan under sanctions pressure
Sudan is operating under layered UN, EU, US and UK sanctions related to the civil war between the SAF and RSF. These constraints:
-
shut conventional Western suppliers out,
-
raise transaction costs and compliance risk,
-
and push buyers toward non-Western channels that can structure deliveries, training, spares, and financing creatively.
Pakistan sits in that narrow corridor: experienced exporter to sanctioned or semi-sanctioned environments, with a track record of government-to-government defence arrangements and end-user controlled frameworks.
