UN Demands Immediate End to Siege of El Fasher in Sudan's Darfur

ai generated text

The United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution demanding that Sudan's paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), immediately halt its siege of El Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur state. The resolution expresses grave concern over the spreading violence and credible reports of ethnically motivated attacks by the RSF. The resolution calls on the Sudanese military and RSF to ensure the protection of civilians in the region. It also demands an immediate end to the violence in El Fasher, which is the only state capital in western Sudan not under RSF control.

    1. This resolution could not come at a more precarious moment.
    2. The people of El Fasher are trapped. They're surrounded by heavily armed RSF. Food, water, medicine and other essentials are drying up. Famine is setting in, and the threat of a large-scale massacre looms large.
