United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres denounced the air strike that killed at least 22 people in Sudan, as the war between the country’s military factions entered its 12th week.
In a statement released by a spokesperson, Guterres reiterates his call for the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to cease fighting and commit to a durable elimination of hostilities.
The secretary-general is also appalled by reports of large-scale violence and casualties across Sudan’s Darfur region, according to the statement released by Farhan Haq, his deputy spokesperson.
“He is also concerned about reports of renewed fighting in North Kordofan, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile States. There is an utter disregard for humanitarian and human rights law that is dangerous and disturbing,” the statement added.
The Khartoum state health ministry announced that at least 22 people were killed and scores injured in an air strike by Sudan’s army on western Omdurman city.
