Sudan: 'No Corner of Sudan Is Safe' - UN Officials Warn of Famine and Atrocities As War Intensifies
UN officials warn of escalating violence and looming famine in Sudan as the conflict approaches its third anniversary.
As Sudan nears three years of ongoing war, UN officials have reported a severe escalation in violence and a worsening humanitarian situation. The conflict has led to famine conditions in several regions, with civilians caught amid fluctuating front lines. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, highlighted that the war has been a period of immense suffering and impunity for war crimes.
The UN is particularly concerned about the humanitarian crisis as nearly 1,000 days of warfare have persisted. Civilians are increasingly at risk, and many regions, especially North Darfur, North Kordofan, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile states, have seen active combat and brutal tactics including drone strikes. The warning from UN officials reflects the grim dynamics of the conflict, emphasizing a lack of safe havens for the population.
With no end in sight, the international community faces pressing obligations to address the crisis and prevent further atrocities. The UN's acknowledgment of the dire situation indicates that immediate intervention may be necessary to alleviate the suffering of millions and stabilize the increasingly precarious conditions across Sudan.
