The Sudan “Horror knows no limits,” says UN, as deaths in the Darfur Rise | Sudan was news

UN right head says that civilians in and around El-Fasher are caught in poor conditions, since RSF warns of further “bloodshed”.

In just three weeks, Sudan was killed in the northern Darfur in Sudan, since, according to the United Nations, their wear and tear for the regional capital El-Fasher intensified.

“Developing in Sudan knows no boundaries,” said Volker Turk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, in a statement on the devastating effects of the two-year civil war published on Thursday and signaled that the fatalities of 542 were probably “much higher” in the past three weeks.

In particular, Darfur was an important battlefield in the brutal war, which broke out in April 2023 between the Sudanese armed forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid supporters (RSF), which killed tens of thousands, were rooted back more than 12 million and created, which the UN describes as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

The RSF, who lost Khartum last month, has carried out several attacks on El-Fasher and the nearby refugee camps in Zamzam and Abu Shouk in the past few weeks, causing an exodus of hundreds of thousands of people 60 km (37 miles) to the city of Tawila.

The Sudan Presidential Palace in the center of Khartoum was shot at by the RSF on Thursday, a military source of the AFP news agency said the second such attack on the capital in one week.

Turk referred to a new attack by the RSF on El-Fasher and Abu Shouk three days ago, in which at least 40 civilians were killed.

He said that he feared further violence after the RSF had warned of “bloodshed” from further “bloodshed”, and added that civilians “had to be enclosed under the bad conditions in and around EL-Fasher” in order to be protected.

Turk's statement came when the RSF takes control shortly before the control of the strategic city of Al-Nuhud in West Kordofan, a goal to the Darfur region, which was held by the Army of the Sudan since the beginning of the conflict.

Al Jazeeras Hiba Morgan reported from Khartoum that both sides regarded the city as crucial for obtaining the upper hand in the conflict.

“It is clear that the RSF does not want the army to try to start attacks on its positions in Darfur, especially since the army said that it wants to repeat cities in Darfur … and they want to break the siege of the RSF from El-Fasher,” she said.

“Extremely annoying”

Turk also emphasized “reports on extrajudicial executions in the state of Khartoum”, which he described as “extremely disturbing”.

He described videos that circulated on social media and showed that at least 30 men in civilian clothing by armed men in RSF uniforms in the Al-Salha area were summarized and rotated in the second largest city in the country, Omdurman.

In a subsequent video “An RSF field commander recognized the murders,” he said.

The videos followed “shocking reports” of the “excessive execution of dozens of people who were accused

The conflict between SAF under the direction of Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Daglo of the RSF shared the Sudan into two parts, whereby the army fluctuates in the north and east, while the RSF controls most of the Darfur and parts of the south.

Turk said he made both leaders aware of the “catastrophic human rights consequences” of the war and said that it was “far over the time that this conflict had stopped”.
