UN Security Council condemns Rapid Support Forces attack in Sudan

The UN Security Council condemned the assault by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on El-Fasher, expressing grave concern over escalating violence, including atrocities against civilians. The council recalled Resolution 2736 (2024) demanding an end to fighting and immediate humanitarian access, urging accountability for violations. Members reaffirmed their commitment to Sudan’s sovereignty and rejected the establishment of a parallel governing authority by the RSF. Heavy fighting has led to mass killings and ethnic cleansing in the city since the RSF seized control.
