Overview
- At a special session in Geneva, the UN Human Rights Council tasked the Sudan fact‑finding mission with an urgent investigation in and around Al‑Fashir and urged identification of alleged perpetrators from all sides for accountability.
- The Council’s decision condemned escalating abuses, flagged possible famine conditions, called for an immediate nationwide ceasefire with independent monitoring, and highlighted more than 21.2 million people facing severe food insecurity.
- The Quartet blueprint—led by the United States with Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia—remains unimplemented after the RSF signaled acceptance and senior Sudanese army figures rejected a halt to fighting.
- The UAE told the Council there is no military solution, condemned attacks on civilians, urged unfettered aid access, endorsed the Quartet plan, and announced an additional $100 million for urgent relief in Al‑Fashir.
- Separately, UAE state prosecutors said they completed a probe into attempted transfers of military equipment to Port Sudan via Emirati territory and will refer suspects to trial after seizing munitions and financial proceeds.
