US warns of atrocities in Sudan’s El Obeid, excludes military solution

The government asked the RSF and allied forces to halt any actions that could endanger civilians, impede humanitarian assistance, or contribute to further atrocities and suffering.

The belligerents, according to the State Department, must uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians and ensure that those seeking safety can do so freely.

“This war has exacted an intolerable toll on the Sudanese people,” the statement reads. “Civilians have suffered immensely from the devastation caused by this conflict.”

The U.S, however, declared that “There is no military solution to this conflict,” urging warring parties to pursue a settlement that ends the violence and addresses the suffering of the population.

The Trump Administration insists only through peace and stability can Sudan return to independent civilian-led governance, preserve its unity, and realize the aspirations of its people.

Washington assures it is working with partners and Sudanese stakeholders to advance a humanitarian truce, secure humanitarian access, and achieve civilian transition and durable peace.
