Highlights
- This week, the UN Security Council called for an immediate cease-fire and de-escalation as the Sudan war descends further into violence.
- On 19 June, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, visited the refugee camps and displacement centres in Kosti, in Sudan’s White Nile State, where over a million people have sought shelter since the fighting started. He warned that without concerted peace efforts, many more people will flee the brutal war in Sudan and into neighbouring countries.
- The plight of civilians in El Fasher, North Darfur State has deteriorated significantly over the last month due to fierce fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and its allies and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Bombings and targeted attacks on densely populated areas have killed civilians, injured thousands and damaged critical civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and IDP camps, violating international humanitarian law.
- In the Central African Republic, activities of armed groups have increased, complicating a security landscape that has seen a spillover of the conflict in neighboring Sudan.
