(17 September 2025) During August 2025, particularly in Darfur, Sudan, a widespread wave of violations against civilians was witnessed. These attacks caused mass displacement, with civilians facing difficulty accessing safe corridors. In addition, civilians faced a health catastrophe with the near-total collapse of health services. The nature of the violations indicates they are systematic and linked to ethnic, political, and geographic affiliation.
The continuation of this pattern without effective intervention threatens to lead to the occurrence of broader crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity. The current violations are not limited to direct killings but have also included strategies of starvation, mass terror, forced displacement, and systematic rape.
