## Resource

Dozens of nations including Britain, France, and Germany are warning the UN Human Rights Council that Sudan’s paramilitary RSF may launch an assault on al-Obeid, putting 500,000 civilians—including 100,000 displaced people—at grave risk. Norway, representing 21 other countries, has urgently called on the RSF to stop any attack on the vital city, which is the capital of North Kordofan, already devastated by Sudan’s war that has displaced nearly 14 million. The international community is demanding maximum pressure on both RSF and Sudan’s Armed Forces to prevent further atrocities and ensure humanitarian aid flows freely. Recent drone strikes have killed at least 50 civilians and damaged critical infrastructure in al-Obeid and North Kordofan, following the RSF’s capture of al-Fashir last October. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has issued a dire warning that any offensive on al-Obeid could violate international law, citing past horrors in al-Fashir and Zamzam camp as unacceptable precedents.
