The Sudanese government has rejected the Human Rights Council's call for a military force to protect civilians amid a devastating conflict that has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and millions displaced. Discover the complexities of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has drawn significant international attention, particularly from the Human Rights Council, which has called for the deployment of a military force to protect civilians. This recommendation comes amidst a devastating war that has persisted for nearly 17 months, leading to a humanitarian crisis characterized by widespread human rights violations. The Sudanese government has vehemently rejected these recommendations, labeling the fact-finding mission as a 'political body' that has overstepped its mandate. The Foreign Ministry's statement underscores the government's stance, asserting that the mission's actions reflect a lack of professionalism and independence, further complicating the situation on the ground.

UN experts have emphasized the urgency of deploying an 'independent and impartial' force in Sudan to safeguard civilians amid escalating atrocities committed by both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces. Their report highlights a horrific series of human rights violations that may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. With the conflict resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and displacing over 10 million people, the need for international intervention has become increasingly critical. The war has devastated the country's infrastructure, leaving more than 75% of health facilities non-operational, exacerbating the dire humanitarian conditions.

  • The Sudanese Foreign Ministry has expressed strong disapproval of the Human Rights Council's fact-finding mission, citing a 'strange contradiction' in its report. The government argues that the recommendation to ban arms from the national army while simultaneously endorsing an international force for civilian protection undermines the mission's credibility. This ongoing conflict, which erupted on April 15, 2023, has drawn global scrutiny due to the severe humanitarian implications, with estimates suggesting that the death toll could reach as high as 150,000. The international community remains divided on how to effectively address the crisis, as the Sudanese government continues to reject external intervention.
