Human Rights Association Warns Sudan Conflict Nears ‘Point of No Return’
Khartoum – Sudanhorizon
The Chairman of the Human Rights Association (HRA), Saad Kassis-Mohamed, has issued a strong warning over the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan, calling on the international community and the UN Security Council to treat the current moment as a “critical and potentially final opportunity” to impose a binding ceasefire before the conflict causes irreversible damage to prospects for a political settlement.
In a press release issued today via the Sudanhorizon news website platform, the HRA said its review of documented reports indicates that more than 100,000 people have been killed since the outbreak of war in April 2023, while over 15 million have been displaced, making Sudan the site of the world’s largest displacement crisis. The organisation also noted that famine conditions have been declared in several regions of the country.
The statement highlighted the fall of El Fasher in October 2025 following an eighteen-month siege by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), during which residents were allegedly denied access to food, water, and medical supplies. According to the HRA, a UN Fact-Finding Mission in February 2026 described the RSF’s conduct in El Fasher as bearing “the hallmarks of genocide” against the Zaghawa and Fur communities.
The organisation further cited UN figures indicating that more than 6,000 people were killed during three days of fighting following the RSF takeover of the city. It also referred to a missile strike on a mosque in El Fasher on 19 September 2025, during Friday prayers, which reportedly killed 75 civilians.
The HRA stated that all previous ceasefire efforts had failed, including a three-month humanitarian truce announced by the RSF in November 2025, which was rejected by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and a ceasefire proposal presented to the UN Security Council by Sudan’s Transitional Prime Minister in December 2025 that was never implemented.
According to the organisation, the conflict is continuing to expand geographically while the use of increasingly lethal weapons, including drone strikes on civilian areas, is escalating.
The HRA criticised what it described as the international community’s inadequate response, saying that divisions within the UN Security Council and the collapse of humanitarian access had deepened the crisis. The organisation warned that the peace process in Sudan was “not stalled, but dying,” adding that “the people of Sudan have not run out of suffering; the international community has run out of excuses.”
