NEW YORK (KAAB TV) – The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting on 30 October 2025 to address reports of mass killings in El Fasher (Al-Fashir), a city in North Darfur, in the Republic of Sudan.
In its statement, the Council emphasised that the escalating crisis can only be resolved through dialogue, and that the United Nations is renewing efforts to resume peace talks that have been under way for some time.
The meeting was requested by six Member States: the United Kingdom, Algeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Guyana and Denmark. A spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General confirmed this.
The violence in El Fasher has drawn international alarm. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is accused of committing widespread atrocities — including summary executions and ethnically-motivated killings — following its assault on the city.
The Council’s statement condemned these attacks, stressed the urgency of protecting civilians and ensuring humanitarian access, and reaffirmed support for Sudan’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity.
