The Associated Press published on 4 November 2025 an article titled "UN Secretary General Says Sudan's War Is "Spiraling Out of Control'" by Jan Gambrell.
Just since the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized control of El Fasher, capital of North Darfur, last week, an additional 71,000 Sudanese have been displaced and hundreds of civilians killed. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres decried the worsening situation and said external powers must stop sending arms into Sudan.
Comment: For more than two years, the United Nations has been unable to impose any kind of meaningful response in Sudan because the UN Security Council is unable to agree on a course of action.
