Sudan's civil war is pure horror and hell for civilians, according to the UN's top rights official. High Commissioner Volker Türk condemned the conflict during a visit to Port Sudan, calling out the recruitment of child soldiers. He slammed the diversion of humanitarian cash into advanced weapons like drones, stating survivors from Darfur described grave abuses.
Türk warned similar crimes might be happening in Kordofan with mass displacement and starvation risks. He demanded that all attacks on civilian infrastructure, like markets and schools, stop, labeling these actions war crimes. The UN Human Rights Council previously ordered an independent probe into atrocities in El-Fasher, including ethnic killings and sexual violence.
Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has killed tens of thousands. It displaced millions, creating the planet's largest hunger crisis. Over twenty-one million people face acute food insecurity. The International Criminal Court is urged to ensure accountability for crimes connected to the Darfur dossier.
