Sudan Reportedly Briefs UN Security Council Team on Violations by Rapid Support Forces

In late October, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the Rapid Support Forces, accusing them of carrying out "savage retaliatory campaigns" in two regions. The ministry said that these campaigns are tantamount to acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing, aimed at civilians based on their tribal and regional backgrounds.
Sudan informed a team of experts from the
UN Security Council last Sunday of violations committed against civilians by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in several states across the country, media reported on Monday.
The move took place during a meeting between the National Coordinator for the Implementation of Resolution 1591 and the Security Council expert team in the Port Sudan region, according to a statement by Sudan’s Sovereignty Council.
The statement noted that the Sudanese coordinator provided the experts with an overview of the violations and assaults committed by the RSF against civilians in
Darfur and other states.
“The expert group was briefed on the current situation in the country and Sudan's efforts toward achieving peace,” Lieut. Gen. (retd) Ezz El-Din Osman Taha, the head of the national coordinator, was quoted as saying.
Taha welcomed the UN Security Council expert team's visit and affirmed Sudan’s readiness to provide all necessary support for its mission according to its mandate.
He reportedly highlighted that this visit is the first by the expert team since the conflict erupted last April. The three-day visit will include meetings with several national agencies involved in implementing the resolution.
The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1591 in 2005, imposing sanctions and an
arms embargo to address the conflict in Darfur. In September of this year, the Security Council extended these sanctions for another year, including a travel ban on specific individuals and entities and an asset freeze effective until September 2025.
