The UN Security Council Gets Together to Handle Growing Conflict in Sudan

The UN Security Council Gets Together to Handle Growing Conflict in Sudan
The United Nations Security Council is convening today for a vital private discussion to handle the escalating conflict in Sudan, which has shockingly high degrees of bloodshed and humanitarian suffering. Initiated by Mozambique, the President of the Council for May, this conference results from protracted negotiations with Council members and the parties engaged in the conflict. Key briefings are planned from Assistant Secretary-General for Africa Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths.

A Year of Destruction

Particularly in the city of El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, the strife in Sudan, which broke out on April 15, 2023, has seriously harmed the country. Between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary force under General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemeti, this city has been a focal point of great bloodshed.

As of May 17, the Armed fighting Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) estimates that the fighting has caused over 16,650 deaths as well as more than 8.8 million displaced persons. Based on figures from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 1.8 million of them have fled into neighboring nations like the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan.

Humanitarian Disaster in El-Fasher

Despite many requests for a truce from regional and international players, notably through Security Council resolution 2724, El-Fasher has observed an increase in violence over the previous month. Previously under control by both SAF and RSF with a buffer zone, the city has turned into a battlefield where fierce fighting has resulted in terrible humanitarian effects.

At the only operable hospital in the state, the El-Fasher South Hospital, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) recorded 707 deaths in the first weeks of May alone. As citizens stay imprisoned due to continuous hostilities, the death toll is projected to climb.

With more than 800,000 people in El-Fasher under urgent risk, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has underlined the terrible situation. The violence has hindered humanitarian relief; essential goods caught at border crossings and checkpoints cannot reach people in need.

Worldwide Reaction and Demand for Peace

 
Council members and briefers are likely to denounce the violence and underline the pressing necessity of a ceasefire during today's meeting. Martin Griffiths most certainly shows great worries about the declining food security scenario and restricted humanitarian access. With several areas highly vulnerable to famine, the World Food Program (WFP) just cautioned that at least five million people in Sudan are on the verge of starvation.

Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee, Assistant Secretary-General, will give updates on continuous peace initiatives. Though there have been several attempts at regional and international mediation, a breakthrough is yet elusive. Aimed to unite external political will for peace, the Saudi-US sponsored negotiations in Jeddah, meant to restart soon.

The Directions Ahead

 
The world has to act forcefully to solve this situation. Important actions are guaranteeing humanitarian access, following ceasefire agreements, and bolstering peace talks. Coordinated world efforts help to reduce the suffering of people, particularly in areas like El-Fasher.

The world watches with hope that sensible policies will be carried out to cease the bloodshed and open the path for enduring peace in Sudan as the Security Council debates.

As we keep observing this growing scenario, keep tuned for more developments.
