In a unified statement regarding the UN Fact Finding Mission's report, the foreign ministers from the Sudan Core Group, including Norway's foreign minister Eide, have described the findings as a 'cry for action.' They announced the formation of a coalition of states and institutions aimed at collaboratively preventing atrocities in Sudan amidst the ongoing civil war, which has persisted since April 2023. This conflict erupted when the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) challenged the Sudanese army's leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, leading to widespread violence and a humanitarian crisis, particularly affecting non-Arab populations in Darfur.

The report highlights the significant human rights violations committed by the RSF over an 18-month siege of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. It details the systematic blocking of food and humanitarian supply routes and attacks on markets, exacerbating the suffering of local populations. The Sudan Core Group expressed their outrage and sorrow over the disturbing findings, indicating the international community's deep concern for the ongoing violence and instability in the region.

As the Sudan Core Group moves to establish a coalition, this response reflects a growing commitment among international leaders to address the dire situation in Sudan. The emphasis placed on collaborative action underscores an urgent need for global support to bring about peace and stability, drawing attention to the responsibilities of the international community in responding to humanitarian crises.
