The United Nations groups and rights are asking for the end of violence in Sudan, since the second anniversary of their Civil War looms and the paramilitary rapid support forces (RSF) have sought their attacks in Darfur, killing dozens of people.
As the representatives of the DTS of countries will meet in London on Tuesday to try to resolve the Sudan crisis, Human Rights Watch urged the international community to “work urgently to protect civilians and guarantee a safe and without access provision” in the country.
“During the last two years, the Sudan War Parties have subjected the population to horrible abuse and sufferings, and blocked help, sinking the country into the worst humanitarian disasters of the world,” Mohamed Osman, a researcher at Sudan in Human Rights Watch in a statement on Monday.
“International leaders should ensure that discussions to improve the humanitarian situation go hand in hand with commitments to the highest level to protect civilians.”
This week marks two years since the war broke out on April 15, 2023, between the RSF and the Sudanese army. He has killed thousands of people, displaced almost 13 million people, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and caused a hunger crisis in parts of the country.
In recent weeks, the army has managed to expel the RSF fighters of the capital, Jardum, but the paramilitary group has claimed advances in the western region of Darfur, where a humanitarian crisis has already been transmitted.
On Sunday, the RSF said that the control of the Zamzam field for displaced people near El-Fafasher, the provincial capital of the state of North Darfur.
The assault has killed boxes of people, including 23 children and nine humanitarian workers, according to the UN.
‘Thousands of displaced trapped and cut of aid’
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCA) warned on Monday that the fight near El-Fafasher, which has been under a blockade of RSF, is hindering access to humanitarian assistance.
“Thousands of displaced people are trapped and cut from help,” said Ocha Sudan in a publication on social networks.
“Hostilities must stop now. All those involved in the conflict must guarantee a safe step for civilians and humanitarian access.”
The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, had condemned the attacks against civilians in El-Fafasher and its surroundings, urging at the end of the fighting.
“The Secretary General emphasizes that the attacks directed against civilians and the indisted attacks are strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law,” Guerres said in a statement issued through his spokesman in Sunay.
“Humanitarian relief personnel and medical personnel must be respect and protect. The perpetrators of these attacks must be brought to justice.

In a joint statement on Monday, Egypt and Qatar also expressed “serious concerns about the ongoing armed conflict in the Sudan and emphasized the importance of an immediate cessation of military operations.”
Rival generals at war
But violence continued on Monday. Al Jazeera Arabic cited local sources by reporting that the RSF fighters were bombing the Abu Shouk camp for displaced people outside El-Fafasher.
Sudan has seen an increasing instability since the president of the former Omar Al-Bashir was eliminated from power in 2019 after months of anti-government protests.
In October 2021, the Sudanese army organized a coup against the civil government of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, which led to his resignation at the beginning of 2022.
The head of the Sudan Army, Abdel Fattaah Al-Burhan, and his general rival Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who leads the RSF, shared power after the coup but then began to fight for the control of the State and its resources in April 2023.
Davis Makori, a specialist in humanitarian politics and defense, highlighted the impact of war on the psychological trauma of children, gender violence and the inability to attend the creation of half of the civilians affected by the conflict.
“While there are foci of states in Sudan, which are not active areas of conflict, this humanitarian crisis has spread to almost all facets of life,” Makori told Al Jazeera.
