UN Warns of Impending Atrocities and Deepening Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan's El Obeid

The UN's top human rights official, Volker Türk, issued an urgent warning regarding an imminent offensive by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and allied troops on El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan state. He cautioned that the situation risks serious international crimes and will exacerbate an already catastrophic humanitarian emergency, drawing parallels to past atrocities in El Fasher and Zamzam.
