The UN has escalated its diplomatic pressure for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan, issuing a formal demand to halt foreign military support from multiple nations after a new report confirmed that both warring factions are committing serious violations of international humanitarian law. This development comes as the conflict continues to drive a record-breaking displacement crisis, with over ten million people now internally displaced or seeking refuge abroad.

  • According to GN geopolitics/rights (en-US), UN High Commissioner Volker Türk has formally demanded an end to foreign involvement, citing a new fact-finding mission report that identifies state-linked support from the UAE, Chad, Libya, and Somalia as fueling the conflict. The report further concludes that both the SAF and RSF have reasonable grounds for committing serious violations of international humanitarian law, including attacks on infrastructure and civilian markets.
