GENEVA: Killings of civilians in Sudan's war more than doubled in 2025 compared with the previous year, the United Nations rights chief said on Thursday, warning that thousands more dead are unidentified or remain missing.
Since April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that has killed tens of thousands, displaced 11 million people and triggered one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
"This war is ugly. It's bloody and it's senseless," Volker Turk told the UN Human Rights Council, blaming both warring sides, which have so far rejected any form of humanitarian truce. He also blamed foreign sponsors funding what he called a "high-tech" conflict. — AFP
