The United Nations Security Council voiced \u201cgrave concern\u201d over the escalating military operations in and around El Fasher, North Darfur, denouncing the RSF assault and its \u201cdevastating consequences\u201d for civilians, infrastructure, and essential services.<\/p>\n
In a strongly worded statement, Council members said the attack constitutes a flagrant violation of Resolution 2736 (2024), which demanded that the RSF lift its siege on El Fasher, cease hostilities immediately, and enter arrangements to de-escalate and protect civilians.<\/p>\n
The Council cited credible reports of \u201chorrific atrocities\u201d committed by the RSF against civilians, including summary executions, arbitrary detentions, and ethnically motivated abuses, warning of a \u201creal risk\u201d of large-scale atrocities if the violence is not urgently stopped.<\/p>\n
It stressed the need to hold all perpetrators accountable, reaffirming the international community\u2019s commitment to end impunity and calling for the activation of international accountability mechanisms.<\/p>\n
The Council also urged all Sudanese parties to respect international humanitarian law and the rules of civilian protection, ensure the safety of humanitarian workers and their facilities, and allow the immediate and unconditional passage of aid and safe corridors for civilians fleeing conflict zones.<\/p>\n
Members emphasized that the priority now is to resume negotiations between Sudanese parties toward a permanent ceasefire and an inclusive, Sudanese-led political process\u2014described as the only path to end the conflict, address its root causes, and build sustainable peace.<\/p>\n
In a pointed reference to foreign interference fueling the war, the Council urged member states to refrain from any military, political, or financial support that could prolong the conflict or destabilize Sudan, stressing full compliance with all Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2791 (2025).<\/p>\n
The Council reaffirmed its respect for Sudan\u2019s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, rejecting any attempt to establish a \u201cparallel governing authority\u201d in RSF-controlled areas\u2014an implicit rebuke of efforts to impose an alternative political or administrative order by force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
