EU warns Al Fasher becomes 'graveyard of humanity' amid Sudan's worsening crisis

The European Union has sounded the alarm over the dire situation in Sudan's Al Fasher, describing it as a "graveyard of humanity," with civilians trapped under siege, hospitals bombed, and aid routes blocked.

Speaking at the European Commission's briefing on Friday, spokesperson Eva Hrncirova said the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Al-Fasher is "one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world."

"Al-Fasher is not accessible for humanitarian workers, if you ask about it. I can even say that Al-Fasher has become a graveyard of humanity."

Condemning the ongoing atrocities in Al-Fasher "in the clearest possible terms," Hrncirova stated that starvation and mass killing of civilians "cannot be used as weapons of war," as doing so violates international humanitarian law.

She further called for negotiations as the only way to "urgently achieve a permanent ceasefire," adding that the EU stands ready to support both the talks and the implementation of any agreement reached.

The spokesperson also called for "immediate, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access" to all areas affected by the conflict.

Since late October, Al-Fasher has become a focal point of global attention following a serious escalation in the Sudanese crisis, entering a new phase of violence and displacement.

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have massacred at least 2,000 people in El-Fasher, western Darfur, in what some rights groups said was a "true genocide."

Reports tell of summary executions, sexual violence, attacks on aid workers, looting, and abductions. The blood of the victims could be seen from space.

The RSF has waged war with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) for more than two years.

Israel, the UK, France, Canada, and the US face international backlash for arms sales and diplomatic cover.

Despite denials, the UAE has emerged as a major backer of RSF, providing weapons and logistics support, in exchange for Sudanese gold.

Sudanese authorities have repeatedly said the RSF enjoys unconditional support from the UAE, with Khartoum taking legal action against the country at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in April.

According to the United Nations and local estimates, the war has killed around 200,000 people, forced over 15 million others from their homes, and left nearly 25 million facing acute hunger, leading the International Rescue Committee to characterize it as "the largest humanitarian crisis ever documented."
