On Monday, Prime Minister Kamel Idris issued an urgent appeal to the UN Secretary-General, urging the Security Council and General Assembly to lift the siege on Al-Fashir, open humanitarian corridors to deliver aid, and prevent the use of starvation as a weapon against civilians.<\/p>\n
According to the Sudan News Agency, Idris said in his message: \u201cI stand before you today with an urgent and painful plea. The city of Al-Fashir is under siege. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped. Families are starving, and children are dying before our eyes due to a lack of global resources, or worse, deliberate obstruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stressed that the situation in Al-Fashir is not merely a humanitarian crisis but a moral test for the United Nations, pointing out that international law prohibits using starvation as a weapon of war and that the rights to life, food, and medical care are fundamental human rights. \u201cYet these rights are being violated in Al-Fashir with every passing hour,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister called on the UN Security Council and General Assembly to act immediately to lift the siege and open humanitarian pathways, emphasizing: \u201cThe residents of Al-Fashir cannot wait for further procedural discussions or delayed resolutions. Their survival depends on your urgent and unified action.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cHistory will remember whether the United Nations chose silence or solidarity, and whether it allowed an entire city to perish or stood firmly to protect the innocent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
