In Sudan, at least 54 people were killed, including children and two U.N. peacekeepers, in attacks along the border with South Sudan. This weekend’s clashes in the oil-rich territory of Abyei, which is claimed by both Sudan and South Sudan, is the deadliest since at least 2021.

Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said there is evidence that both the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces are committing war crimes in Darfur. This is ICC prosecutor Karim Khan.

Karim Khan: “I’m compelled to conclude and report that it’s my assessment that we are fast approaching a breaking point and that the conflict in Sudan demands your attention now more than ever.”

Nearly half of Sudan’s 49 million residents are in urgent need of aid, with about 8 million people displaced by the intensifying violence. The U.N. estimates some 12,000 people have been killed, but the true death toll is believed to be much higher.
