UN Security Council Considers Sudan Resolution

The United Nations Security Council is reviewing a resolution proposed by Britain that calls for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan's ongoing conflict, which has resulted in over 25 million people needing humanitarian assistance. The war, which erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has led to severe human rights violations and widespread famine. While Britain seeks swift voting on the resolution, the RSF has faced sanctions for their actions against civilians, which they deny, attributing violence to rogue actors. The Sudanese government has refuted U.S. claims of obstructing humanitarian aid, arguing that the RSF is primarily responsible for the crisis. Despite official assertions of facilitating aid, the humanitarian situation remains dire, with millions displaced and in urgent need of support. Advocates are urging U.S. officials to prioritize humanitarian aid for Sudan amidst these escalating challenges.
