UN Security Council rejects RSF’s parallel governing authority in Sudan
Radio Tamazuj August 14, 2025 NEW YORK
The members of the UN Security Council on Wednesday rejected the
announcement of the establishment of a parallel governing authority in
areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan.
A press statement issued by Council President Eloy Alfaro de Alba
(Panama) said the Council expressed grave concern about the
implications of such actions, which represent a direct threat to
Sudan’s territorial integrity and unity and further risk exacerbating
the ongoing conflict in Sudan, fragmenting the country, and worsening
an already dire humanitarian situation.
“The members of the Security Council unequivocally reaffirmed their
unwavering commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity, and
territorial integrity of Sudan,” the statement reads in part. “They
stressed that any unilateral steps that undermine these principles
threaten not only the future of Sudan but also the peace and stability
of the broader region.”
“They reiterated that the priority is for the parties to resume talks
to reach a lasting ceasefire and create the necessary conditions for a
political resolution on the conflict, involving all Sudanese political
and social actors to re-establish a credible and inclusive political
transition towards a democratically elected national Government
following a civilian-led transitional period to realize the
aspirations of the Sudanese people for a peaceful, stable and
prosperous future, in full accordance with the principles of national
ownership,” the statement added.
The members of the Security Council also recalled resolution 2736
(2024), which demands that the RSF lift the siege of El Fasher and
calls for an immediate halt to the fighting and for de-escalation in
and around El Fasher, where famine and extreme food insecurity
conditions are at risk of spreading.
“They also expressed grave concern about incoming reports of a renewed
RSF offensive in El Fasher. The members of the Security Council urged
the RSF to allow unhindered humanitarian access to El Fasher,” the
statement said. “The Members of the Security Council also condemned
reported attacks in Sudan’s Kordofan region in recent weeks by the
parties, which have caused the deaths of high numbers of civilians.
Council members also expressed deep concern over the impact of the
conflict, including attacks on humanitarian operations.”
“They called on the parties in Sudan to allow and facilitate safe and
unhindered humanitarian access in a manner consistent with the
relevant provisions of international law,” it added.
The members of the Security Council demanded that all parties to the
conflict protect civilians and abide by their obligations under
international law, and fulfil resolution 2736 (2024), as well as abide
by their commitments under the Jeddah Declaration. They further
called on all parties to the conflict to adhere to international
humanitarian law. The members called for all perpetrators of serious
violations to be held accountable.
The members of the Security Council urged all Member States to refrain
from external interference which seeks to foment conflict and
instability, to support efforts for durable peace, to abide by their
obligations under international law, and to implement relevant
Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2750 (2024).
The members of the Security Council also reaffirmed the Council’s
solidarity and unwavering commitment to continue supporting Sudan and
its people in their aspirations to restore lasting peace, security,
stability, and prosperity in their country for the benefit of all
Sudanese.
“The members of the Security Council reiterated their full support for
the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General, Ramtane Lamamra, and his
efforts to use his good offices with the parties and civil society,
leading to a sustainable solution to the conflict through dialogue,”
the statement concluded.
