United Nations: Atrocities and El Fasher Catastrophe in Sudan Were Avoidable
Omdurman - Mashaweer
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights affirmed today (Monday) that the atrocities committed during the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) seizure of El Fasher in Sudan constitute an avoidable catastrophe, expressing fears of similar events recurring in Kordofan.
Volker Türk told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, “My office has frequently warned of the risk of mass atrocities in the city of El Fasher, which remained under siege for over a year.”
He added, “We have previously documented patterns of such atrocities on many occasions, including during the RSF attack to seize the Zamzam camp. The threat was clear, yet our warnings were ignored.”
