Seven European nations have urgently called for an immediate end to fighting in Sudan, expressing grave concern over the worsening security situation. The appeal specifically highlighted the deteriorating conditions in El-Obeid, a city now surrounded by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This escalation raises fears for civilian safety and potential humanitarian consequences. The European countries did not specify which nations made the call, but emphasized the urgent need for de-escalation. The RSF’s encirclement of El-Obeid suggests a strategic move to exert control and potentially cut off vital supply lines. The situation underscores the ongoing power struggle between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which erupted in April and continues to destabilize the country. International pressure is mounting to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
