A recent report from the UN’s Human Rights Office sheds light on the appalling violations occurring on both sides of the war in Sudan.
Evidence gathered over eight months since the conflict erupted last April reveals harrowing accounts from hundreds of individuals.
Ethnically motivated attacks in the Darfur region have resulted in thousands of deaths, with disturbing allegations of child rape also documented.
Satellite imagery corroborates reports of heavy explosives being indiscriminately used in densely populated areas, leading to the deaths of numerous civilians.
Calls for Action Following Disturbing Events in Sudan
Following the emergence of video footage depicting students being beheaded by uniformed individuals, the UN is intensifying calls for immediate action.
The perpetrators, after carrying out the beheadings, callously paraded the decapitated heads through the streets, further exacerbating the shock and horror.
In light of these atrocities, the UN is urging an end to the ongoing violence and advocating for inclusive talks aimed at establishing a civilian-led government in Sudan.
