The UN has reported 40 deaths following an attack on a funeral in El-Obeid, Sudan, as the conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the military continues to expand into new territories. With paramilitaries now controlling Darfur after capturing El-Fasher, and widespread reports of atrocities including sexual violence against civilians, international organizations are urgently calling for a ceasefire while diplomatic efforts struggle to gain traction amid the deteriorating humanitarian situation.
