UN Chief Urges Sudan Ceasefire

In a decisive call to action, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has urged for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict-ridden city of El Fasher, Sudan. The appeal comes as relentless militia attacks have left hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in the besieged city for over a year.

Speaking on Friday, Guterres expressed deep concern over the ongoing violence, condemning the militia’s persistent assaults that have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. The Secretary-General’s plea highlights the urgent need for relief and protection for those caught in the crossfire, as the city’s resources continue to dwindle.

The UN has been actively monitoring the situation in El Fasher, calling for international cooperation to facilitate peace and provide essential aid to the affected populations. The ongoing conflict has drawn global attention, with humanitarian organizations emphasizing the dire conditions faced by civilians in the region.

Guterres’s call for a ceasefire is part of a broader UN effort to stabilize the area and ensure the safety of innocent civilians. As the situation unfolds, the international community is urged to respond swiftly to prevent further escalation and alleviate the suffering of those in El Fasher.
