The UN Security Council has raised serious concerns over the continuing violence across Sudan, especially in the Kordofan and Darfur regions. In an official statement issued on Wednesday, the council called on all parties involved in the conflict to halt hostilities immediately. The council's condemnation highlights the frequent drone attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, as well as humanitarian workers, referencing attacks on the World Food Programme that have escalated since February 2026, and suggests that these acts could amount to war crimes.

Additionally, the Security Council condemned the ongoing assaults by the Rapid Support Forces and the accompanying destabilization in the Kordofan region. The members expressed outrage over the human rights violations being perpetrated against civilians, which include arbitrary arrests and sexual violence related to the conflict. The statement also noted alleged atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces in the region of Al-Fasher, detailing systematic killings, mass displacements, and summary executions with ethnic targeting.

The situation in Sudan has led to a grave humanitarian crisis, and the Security Council urged all parties to respect and protect humanitarian workers and their facilities in accordance with international commitments and humanitarian law. The ongoing violence not only threatens the safety of civilians but also exacerbates the already dire humanitarian conditions, warranting urgent attention from the international community to restore peace and stability in the region.
