UNSC warns of imminent mass atrocities in El Obeid, Sudan
The UN Security Council issued an urgent warning on June 22, 2026, regarding an 'imminent risk of mass atrocities' in El Obeid, North Kordofan. The council demanded that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) immediately halt their offensive and siege of the strategic city. UN envoy Pekka Haavisto engaged in high-level calls with RSF leadership to prevent a repeat of genocide-level violence previously seen in El Fasher. Humanitarian agencies are preparing for large-scale displacement.
