UN Human Rights Chief Warns of Impending Atrocities in Sudan's El Obeid

The UN's human rights chief issued an urgent warning about a potential offensive against El Obeid in Sudan, citing a significant buildup of Rapid Support Forces militia. This military escalation, accompanied by drone strikes and shelling, risks severe international crimes and could exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation. The UN Secretary-General also urged influential parties to prevent further violence and avoid a repeat of past atrocities.
