As RSF prepares to attack El Fasher in North #Darfur #Sudan , the Humanitarian Research Lab warns: „the number of casualties in the region could exceed the 110,000 deaths of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.“ newarab.com/news/mass-casu…

I’m in the The Globe and Mail ringing alarm bells on unfolding RSF siege of El Fasher city - home to hundreds of thousands of civilians and displaced people. Situation deteriorating rapidly and the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable people hang in balance.

One of Darfur's biggest cities, El Fasher, is now a 'kill box', analysts say. The city is under a tightening siege by RSF forces, with its escape routes cut off. Fuel and water are running out. And the RSF has committed massacres in other Darfur cities.

Just as our president and founder Niemat A warned, the supply of weapons to the warring parties in #Sudan is a direct cause to the level of sexual violence we are witnessing now. It is also why we need collective actions to secure the implementation of a solid arms embargo.

Powerful words from @NiematA on the Security Council's inaction on #Sudan as the war continues to have ever more devastating consequences—particularly for women and girls.

“I am haunted by the reports of sexual violence that I hear every day,” @NiematA tells the #UNSC , describing that rape and other forms of GBV are a defining feature of the current war in #Sudan .

Ahead of the #UNSC Open Debate on #CRSV , @NiematA tells the press it is notable that “without the spread of weapons, the levels of sexual violence we are currently seeing in #Sudan would never have occurred.”

Today, we stand with @NiematA as she briefs the #UNSC at the #CRSV Open Debate on widespread conflict-related sexual violence in #Sudan and the need for urgent international action to stop the war.
