UN adopts a resolution demanding that Sudan’s paramilitary force halt its siege of a Darfur city

Associated Press  

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution Thursday demanding that Sudan’s paramilitary force immediately halt its siege of the only capital in the vast western region of Darfur that it doesn’t control and where more than a million people are reportedly trapped. Ambassador Barbara Woodward told the council after the vote that the resolution sends a clear message: the RSF must “immediately stop the siege of El Fasher and that all sides step back from the brink.” “An attack on the city would be catastrophic for the 1.5 million people sheltering in the city,” she warned. The resolution expresses concern at “the catastrophic and deteriorating humanitarian situation, including crisis-level or worse acute food insecurity, and the imminent risk of famine, particularly in Darfur.” The U.N. humanitarian office said Tuesday that the U.N. and aid organizations “are working against the clock to stave off famine and mitigate the most pressing humanitarian needs in Sudan.” But the U.N. said this is “incredibly challenging” because this year’s humanitarian appeal for Sudan is just 16% funded — with less than $441 million received of the $2.7 billion required. Russia’s deputy U.N. ambassador Anna Evstigneeva said Moscow abstained because the resolution “is at odds with the reality on the ground,” ignores the views of the Sudanese themselves, and doesn’t contain “any substantive proposals” to end the war.
