United Nations: Violations in Al-Fashir “Shocking”
The Sudanese government has affirmed its commitment to facilitating and expediting humanitarian operations, driven by its determination to deliver aid to those affected and displaced by the atrocities of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
On Tuesday, Sudan’s Permanent Representative in Geneva, Ambassador Hassan Hamed Hassan, held a meeting at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva with Tom Flisser, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, following his recent visit to Sudan.
The Permanent Representative reiterated the Sudanese government’s firm commitment to facilitating and accelerating humanitarian procedures for all organizations, emphasizing that the government’s stance in this regard is unmatched, given its utmost concern for delivering aid to those displaced by the militia’s atrocities.
Tom Flisser, for his part, reviewed his recent visit to the country and meetings with senior officials in Port Sudan, describing them as positive and constructive.
He also reported witnessing the level of crimes, atrocities, and violations that are shocking under international humanitarian law and human rights, based on his visit to Tawila and meetings with survivors from Al-Fashir.
During the meeting, Hassan Hamed confirmed the government’s provision of all necessary facilitation through the High Committee for Humanitarian Emergencies, maintaining the opening of border crossings, including Adré, and granting access to several airports for this purpose.
The Permanent Representative affirmed the government’s positive engagement with efforts by regional and international partners to achieve peace and end the war, in accordance with the requirements of the roadmap submitted by the government to the United Nations on 10 March 2025. He stressed that any attempt to reinstate the militia will not be accepted by the people of Sudan, who have suffered unprecedented massacres and atrocities at the hands of the RSF.
