UN Warns of Imminent Mass Atrocities in Sudan's el-Obeid Amid Escalating Conflict

The United Nations has issued a warning that civilians in Sudan's North Kordofan region face an 'imminent risk of mass atrocities' as paramilitaries with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have encircled the city of el-Obeid. The RSF, engaged in a civil war against Sudan's military rulers since 2023, has intensified drone attacks, leading to the closure of medical centers and disruption of water services.
