The UN Security Council has passed a resolution demanding the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan immediately halt their siege of Darfur’s only capital, El Fasher, to protect over a million people trapped in the city.
This resolution aims to end the ongoing conflict and ethnic violence carried out by the paramilitary forces, expressing grave concern over the situation escalating in Darfur.
With reports suggesting potential war crimes and genocide, the resolution emphasizes the need for immediate action to prevent further casualties and humanitarian crises.
The resolution also calls for the protection of civilians, provision of aid, and prevention of external interference fueling the conflict in Sudan.
The plea for peace is crucial as the region faces famine, mass displacement, and the looming threat of a large-scale massacre, urging all parties to seek a political solution.
Despite challenges in funding humanitarian efforts, international support and cooperation are essential to prevent further devastation in Sudan.
