The Council of Ministers of Sudan’s Peace Government has called for the protection of civilians and the establishment of safe humanitarian corridors in El Obeid.
They cited ongoing humanitarian concerns and the need to facilitate civilian movement and aid delivery.
In a statement on Monday, June 29, the government said it is engaged in discussions with international partners regarding civilian protection, humanitarian assistance, and the creation of secure routes for residents seeking to leave areas affected by conflict.
The statement, signed by Information Minister and Official Spokesperson Khalid Danaa, accused the Sudanese Armed Forces, led by Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and allied militias of preventing residents from leaving the city, using civilians as human shields, shelling residential neighbourhoods and forcing civilians to participate in military operations.
