South Africa Condemns Attacks in North Darfur
South Africa strongly condemns the attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, North Darfur, on a hospital and displacement centre, killing at least 20 people.
These assaults on civilian infrastructure have resulted in a tragic loss of innocent lives, severe injuries, displacement, and immense human suffering, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
The sustained attacks since September on places of worship and the central market represent a grave violation of international law, leaving thousands of civilians, including women and children, trapped by the fighting.
South Africa stands in solidarity with the people of Sudan, who continue to bear the brunt of this conflict.
The Department of International Relations and Cooperation reminds all parties of their non-negotiable obligations under international law.
