UN Chief Says ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ May Have Been Committed In Sudan

Indiscriminate attacks against civilians in Sudan could constitute “war crimes and crimes against humanity,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Monday, one year since fighting erupted between rival generals.

“This is more than a conflict between two warring parties. It is a war being waged on the Sudanese people,” Guterres told reporters, referring to the tens of thousands of people killed and 18 million facing “acute hunger.”

“Indiscriminate attacks that are killing, injuring and terrorizing civilians could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity,” he said, condemning the use of sexual violence against women and girls, and attacks on aid convoys.

He also reiterated his concerns about reports of escalating unrest in El-Fasher, in Darfur — a western region that is home to a quarter of Sudan’s 48 million people and the past scene of horrific violence, with reports of mass ethnic-based killings.

El-Fasher, in North Darfur State, is the last state capital not under the control of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who are battling Sudan’s army. It is also a major regional hub for humanitarian aid.

Fears have mounted that sexual and ethnic-based violence have resumed in Darfur with the outbreak of civil war.

“Over the weekend, RSF-affiliated militias attacked and burnt villages west of the city — leading to widespread new displacement” and fears that the city’s only water source could be overtaken, Guterres said.

“Fighting continued today on the outskirts of El-Fasher,” he added.

“Let me be clear: Any attack on El-Fasher would be devastating for civilians and could lead to full-blown intercommunal conflict across Darfur.”

He warned that such an attack would also upend aid operations in an area “already on the brink of famine.”
