The U.N. Security Council Thursday condemned the mass killings by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher in Sudan’s North Darfur region. It comes as Sudan’s government says the RSF has killed at least 2,000 people in the three days since the paramilitary group has seized control of the city. Here’s Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee, the assistant secretary-general of the U.N. for Africa.

Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee: “Despite commitments to protect civilians, the reality is that no one is safe in El Fasher. There is no safe passage for civilians to leave the city. There are also reports of large-scale atrocities perpetrated by the Rapid Support Forces in Barah, in North Kordofan, following the recent capture of the city.”
