Risk of Genocide in Sudan ‘Very High’: UN
- Since April 2023, violent clashes between Sudan’s military and its prominent paramilitary group have led to widespread displacement and severe hardship for civilians throughout the country.
- The ongoing conflict arises from a battle for control between Sudan's military leader and the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, further aggravated by ethnic violence and deliberate assaults on displaced populations.
- The violence has resulted in over 10.7 million internally displaced persons, widespread suspension of humanitarian aid, allegations of international law violations, and specific threats to women and ethnic minorities.
- UN officials caution that the likelihood of mass atrocities, including genocide and severe human rights violations, remains extremely high, calling for urgent global action and stressing the imperative to safeguard civilians under all circumstances.
- The crisis shows no sign of abating, with continued arms smuggling, escalating violence, and deliberate demographic shifts suggesting further deterioration and urgent need for accountability and humanitarian access.
