Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – On Wednesday, the European Union condemned what it described as the “brutality” of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that recently took control of the strategic city of El-Fasher.
The statement was issued amid reports of widespread atrocities and the killing of five Red Crescent volunteers in Kordofan.
“Civilians being targeted based on their ethnicity underscores the brutality of the Rapid Support Force,”
said a statement by the EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas.
The seizure of El Fasher, Darfur’s capital, by the Rapid Support Forces marks a dangerous turning point in Sudan’s war.
The EU urges all parties to return to negotiations, respect humanitarian law, and ensure safe access for humanitarian aid.
