Overview
- At an emergency session, the council condemned atrocities in Al-Fashir, called for more humanitarian support, and tasked its existing commission to investigate and identify perpetrators despite objections from Sudan, China and others.
- Türk cited satellite imagery showing large blood pools and emerging mass graves, arguing the conflict has become a proxy struggle fueled by actors profiting from Sudan’s resources.
- Survivor and aid-group accounts describe ethnically targeted killings, rape and forced displacement, with UNICEF and NGOs warning of extreme hunger and a collapse of order.
- MSF reports that among children under five arriving after the city’s fall, more than 70% are acutely malnourished and 35% severely so, while residents say RSF blockades cut off food and killed people trying to bring supplies.
- New videos show RSF fighters boasting of large kill counts, as scrutiny intensifies over alleged UAE weapons support and a UAE-linked broadcaster’s friendly coverage, even as a senior Emirati adviser acknowledges earlier policy mistakes over Sudan’s 2021 coup.
