Overview
- The EU Foreign Affairs Council imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo and said it is prepared to list additional actors destabilizing Sudan.
- The EU cited deliberate attacks on civilians, ethnically motivated killings, systematic sexual violence, starvation as a method of warfare and aid denial as violations that may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- Brussels pledged to bolster evidence collection and accountability efforts, urged tighter enforcement and expansion of the UN arms embargo to all of Sudan, and pressed for unhindered humanitarian access and civilian protection.
- UN officials say more than 100,000 people have fled El Fasher since its late‑October fall to the RSF, as aid leaders describe Darfur as “an absolute horror show” and El Fasher as “a crime scene.”
- The RSF said it fully supports international mediation and accepted a Quad‑proposed humanitarian pause, while the army has set conditions including RSF withdrawals from civilian areas and disarmament.
