The Security Council expressed its deep concern over the escalation of tensions and military actions around the city of El Fasher in North Darfur, Sudan.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the council called for an immediate cessation of hostilities to avoid further escalation and violence.
The Council urged all parties to the conflict to abide by international humanitarian law and immediately cease military operations, called for efforts to achieve lasting peace in the region, and warned against external interference that fuels conflict and undermines stability.
The statement stressed the importance of supporting peace efforts, urged all Member States to refrain from any form of interference that contributes to fueling tensions, and reminded all parties to the conflict of the need to abide by internationally agreed arms embargo measures.
The Security Council also noted that the continued build-up could lead to new fighting that threatens the lives of civilians and further complicates the deteriorating humanitarian situation.
Reports indicate that Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces are preparing for an imminent assault on the city of El Fasher, where hundreds of thousands of people fleeing violence have sought refuge elsewhere.
