The United Nations has taken a significant step by circulating a draft resolution urging an immediate cessation of hostilities in Sudan, particularly in light of the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The draft expresses deep concern over the escalating violence and dire humanitarian crisis in Darfur, citing acute food insecurity levels.
Amid the anticipation of Ramadan commencing soon, the council is poised to swiftly vote on the resolution, likely on Friday. Sudan has been embroiled in turmoil since last April, marked by clashes between the military and paramilitary forces, resulting in widespread violence across the country.
