UN Security Council AWOL on Sudan Crisis

 The UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs posted on 30 October 2025 remarks to the UN Security Council titled "'No One Is Safe in El Fasher': ASG Pobee Urges Collective International Efforts to End War in Sudan" by UN Assistant Secretary General for Africa, Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee

Pobee called on the UN Security Council to take decisive action on ending the conflict in Sudan, something it has failed to do for more than two years.  She emphasized that unnamed "external support is enabling the conflict.  Weapons and fighters continue to flow into Sudan contributing to the already desperate situation."  The UN Security Council needs to pressure the enablers to end their support.
