WASHINGTON (AA)— The members of the UN Security Council condemned on Thursday the assault by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on El-Fasher in Sudan's North Darfur and expressed "grave concern" over escalating violence.

In a statement, the members of the Security Council "condemned reported atrocities being perpetrated by the RSF against the civilian population, including summary executions and arbitrary detentions, and expressed grave concern at the heightened risk of large-scale atrocities, including ethnically motivated atrocities."

Recalling resolution 2736 (2024), which demands that the RSF lift the siege of El-Fasher and calls for an immediate halt to the fighting and for de-escalation in and around El Fasher, the members "strongly" urged the RSF to implement the provisions of this resolution.
