Foreign ministers from the G7 issued a joint statement on July 15, 2026, urging Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to immediately cease drone attacks and hostilities in El-Obeid. The G7 warned of imminent atrocities against civilians and called on the UN Security Council to expand the Darfur arms embargo to all of Sudan. The statement followed reports of intensified fighting in North Kordofan that has further restricted humanitarian aid access.
