Overview
- The UN Independent Fact‑Finding Mission told the Human Rights Council on Monday that it found reasonable grounds to believe the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces committed serious violations that may amount to war crimes.
- Investigators documented repeated long‑range drone and loitering‑munition strikes that reached beyond front lines and hit homes, schools, hospitals, markets and displacement sites.
- The mission reported networks of foreign arms, logistics and contractors — including cross‑border transit through neighbouring states and recruitment of foreign operators — that are strengthening both sides and enabling more sophisticated strikes.
- The World Health Organization and UN rights officials described widespread destruction of hospitals and medical equipment, leaving major referral centres in Khartoum and other cities partially unusable and worsening the humanitarian crisis.
- Rights groups and several UN member states urged the Human Rights Council to renew the fact‑finding mandate, publicly identify external backers and push the Security Council to expand and enforce arms restrictions to reduce civilian harm.
