UN Security Council Hears Warnings Over Sudan Partition and Atrocities

During a United Nations Security Council meeting on June 27, 2026, representatives from Pakistan and Egypt called for an immediate end to the violence in Sudan and warned against the fragmentation of the state. Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, condemned the Rapid Support Forces for attacking schools, hospitals, and markets, noting a high risk of mass atrocities. He emphasized that no military solution exists and advocated for a Sudanese-led political process to restore constitutional order.

Egypt's Permanent Representative, Ihab Awad, urged the council to block attempts to partition Sudan or establish parallel governing entities. Awad specifically condemned the siege of El-Obeid and the use of drone strikes on civilian infrastructure, attributing these violations to the Rapid Support Forces. He further argued that any viable political settlement must not equate the Sudanese Armed Forces with paramilitary militias.

Both nations called for a halt to the flow of foreign weapons and mercenaries into the region. They reaffirmed that the stability of Sudan is a shared international responsibility and a moral duty for the global community to prevent further regional destabilization.
