UN Human Rights Council Orders Inquiry Into RSF Atrocities in El Obeid
The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a consensus resolution on July 6, 2026, ordering an urgent international inquiry into alleged atrocities committed in Sudan's North Kordofan state. The probe targets the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) following reports of a near-siege on the city of El Obeid. Concurrently, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher contacted RSF leader General Dagalo to demand safe access for aid convoys as drone strikes continue to devastate local civilian infrastructure and kill children.
