Warning Issued on Growing Crisis in El Obeid, Sudan
Dr. Mukesh Kapila, the former UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, has raised concerns regarding the deteriorating situation in El Obeid. He fears it may surpass the severity of the crisis witnessed in El Fasher between 2024 and 2025.
Kapila emphasized the importance of sustained international attention during this critical time. He noted that ongoing coverage by Al Jazeera could play a significant role in deterring the actions of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who are implicated in the escalating violence and insecurity in the region.
