The European Parliament (EU) on Thursday called on EU member states to designate the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia as a terrorist organization, strongly condemning atrocities committed against civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Sudanese city of El-Obeid, particularly during the militia's ongoing siege.
In a press statement, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) condemned all foreign interference fueling the conflict and urged states to end all forms of support for the RSF, particularly the supply of weapons.
The statement called on the European Union to add the RSF to its list of terrorist organizations and hold those responsible for the atrocities accountable. MEPs also strongly condemned war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sudan and called for increased humanitarian assistance.
