Overview
- Security Council measures add travel bans and asset freezes on four senior RSF figures — Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, Gedo Hamdan Ahmed, Brig. Gen. Al-Fateh Abdullah Idris, and field commander Tijani Ibrahim — over atrocities tied to the October 2025 takeover of El Fasher.
- U.N. investigators concluded the RSF committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in El Fasher and that their conduct presents indications pointing to genocide, with officials saying several thousand civilians were killed and many remain missing; Human Rights Watch also reports RSF fighters targeted people with disabilities.
- The RSF’s February assault on Misteriha in North Darfur left at least 28 dead and 39 wounded, destroyed the town’s only health center, included attacks on medical staff, and prompted the displacement of more than 3,000 people, according to the Sudan Doctors Network.
- The Security Council condemned repeated drone strikes on civilians, civilian infrastructure and aid workers — including impacts on WFP operations — and called for an immediate end to the fighting and safe, unhindered humanitarian access.
- U.N. rights chief Volker Türk said documented civilian killings in 2025 were over two-and-a-half times higher than in 2024, as the war drives a deepening crisis with roughly 11–12 million people displaced and about 21.2 million facing acute food shortages.
