Nov. 14 (UPI) -- The United Nations Human Rights Council chief Volker Türk issued a warning about the bloodshed, rape and torture in El Fasher, a city in the southwest of Sudan.
Türk said the council has issued repeated warnings about the human rights violations in the city.
"Our wake-up calls were not heeded. Bloodstains on the ground in El Fasher have been photographed from space. The stain on the record of the international community is less visible, but no less damaging," Türk said at an emergency meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, on Friday.
The council is backing a fresh, independent investigation into the mass killings in the city. More than 150,000 people have been killed and about 12 million have been displaced, the BBC reported.
