South Africa Condemns Attacks in North Darfur
South Africa strongly condemns the attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, North Darfur, on October 9, 2025.
The attacks on a hospital and displacement centre resulted in the loss of at least 20 lives, severe injuries, displacement, and immense human suffering, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
- Thousands of civilians, including women and children, remain trapped by the fighting.
- The sustained attacks on places of worship and the central market since September represent a grave violation of international law.
These assaults on civilian infrastructure have resulted in a tragic loss of innocent lives.
South Africa stands in solidarity with the people of Sudan, who continue to bear the brunt of this conflict.
