The United Nations Security Council has expressed grave concerns over potential mass atrocities in El Obeid, Sudan, as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) amass outside the city. El Obeid is home to approximately 500,000 people and is considered strategically important. The UN fears the RSF intends to commit widespread abuses against the civilian population. The Security Council is demanding an immediate withdrawal of the RSF forces from the area. This development escalates tensions in the ongoing conflict within Sudan. Further details regarding the situation are expected to emerge as the crisis unfolds. The UN’s statement underscores the deteriorating humanitarian situation and the urgent need for de-escalation.
