Parliament adopted a resolution condemning the escalating violence in and around El-Obeid, Sudan, and warning of the risk of mass civilian harm and atrocity crimes. The text demands that the Rapid Support Forces halt their offensive and that all parties cease attacks on civilians, civilian infrastructure, medical facilities, and humanitarian personnel. It calls for immediate humanitarian access, investigations into alleged violations, and targeted EU measures against those providing military support in breach of the UN arms embargo.
