Follow-up Report - moatinoon
British Foreign Secretary James Cameron has condemned the Sudanese armys aerial and indiscriminate shelling of densely populated areas and called on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to end their siege of El Fasher.
In a statement released today, Sunday, he expressed deep concern over highly credible reports suggesting that some of the violence in Darfur is ethnically motivated.
"The ongoing pattern of violence in Darfur, including apparent systematic attacks against civilians, may amount to crimes against humanity," Cameron stated. He described the violence in El Fasher as appalling.
He continued, "The warring parties have the capacity to halt this. The RSF must terminate their siege of El Fasher, and both sides must de-escalate immediately. Both parties must fully honor the commitments made in the Jeddah Declaration, including allowing unhindered and safe humanitarian access and complying with their obligations under international law."
Cameron emphasized the need for accountability for those responsible for violence against civilians, stating, "We have detailed information about those responsible on the ground, and we will continue to explore all means to disrupt the funding of those perpetrating the violence."
