Sudanese army and allied forces repelled two RSF attacks near Bir Saliba in West Darfur, killing a top RSF commander and destroying dozens of vehicles. The Joint Force says it is preparing for a decisive battle to retake el-Geneina, while the RSF has shifted to drone use after losing key supply routes. Over 6,650 people were displaced in recent clashes, adding to the 13 million displaced since the war began.
As conflict in Sudan continues, the city of el-Obeid risks becoming the next site of genocidal violence, yet international inaction persists. Historical failures, from Rwanda to Darfur, underline a global reluctance to intervene, raising a stark question about how many more tragedies must occur before prevention becomes a priority.
A covert human rights network races against time to record atrocities in Sudan before evidence disappears. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are accused of genocide, mass executions, and widespread sexual violence. Field teams face huge obstacles but their documentation is crucial for future prosecutions.
Thirty-eight aid groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have warned that el-Obeid city in Sudan faces an imminent ground attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after an 18-month blockade. They urged the UN Human Rights Council to hold an emergency debate and dispatch a fact-finding mission to prevent a catastrophe.
Thousands of Sudanese women and children fleeing RSF attacks in North Darfur are now living under trees at the Iridimi refugee camp in eastern Chad, facing severe shortages of food, water, and medicine. The June 15 attack burned 10 villages, and resources are nearly exhausted as camps receive up to 80 new families each day.
The United States has voiced concern over reports that the RSF is encircling el-Obeid, warning of potential mass atrocities. Washington urged all parties to seek a negotiated resolution to the conflict, which has already caused tens of thousands of deaths and millions of displacements.
An international coalition at the UN Human Rights Council warns that Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) may soon attack el-Obeid, endangering some 500,000 civilians. The statement, presented by Norway, cites drone strikes killing at least 50 civilians and calls for maximum pressure on both sides to prevent atrocities.
Drone strikes killed at least 23 people in el-Obeid, central Sudan. Rights groups blamed the Rapid Support Forces, but no group claimed responsibility. The attacks follow a pattern of escalating drone strikes in the conflict-torn region.
