The UN Security Council condemned the RSF for establishing a parallel government in Sudan, highlighting concerns about intensifying violence and risks of national fragmentation. The RSF, led by Hemeti, has gained control over significant territories in Sudan, causing international alarm and calls for unity and humanitarian aid as the situation deteriorates.
The United Nations Security Council has expressed condemnation of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for establishing a parallel government in Sudan. During a meeting on February 26, members voiced strong concerns over the ongoing violence, with a UN envoy remarking that relentless conflicts have turned Sudan into a “hellscape”.
The RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo (known as Hemeti), along with its allies, signed a charter to govern the regions they control in Sudan. This includes significant territorial dominance in Darfur and parts of southern Sudan, with the RSF cooperating with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), which controls areas in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, promoting further stratification in the region.
Council members, including the US representative John Kelley, have raised alarms over the potential de facto partition of Sudan due to the RSF’s actions. UK Ambassador Barbara Woodward warned that growing divisions could destabilize both Sudan and the broader region, while China’s Ambassador Fu Cong highlighted the risks of Sudan’s fragmentation following the signing of the charter.
The UN Security Council emphatically condemned the RSF’s establishment of a parallel government in Sudan, with members expressing deep concern over the escalating violence and fragmentation of the country. The strategic alliance between RSF and SPLM-N further complicates the situation, risking broader regional instability. International stakeholders continue to advocate for unity and humanitarian support as the crisis worsens.
