On July 15, 2026, G7 foreign ministers, alongside the European Union's foreign policy chief, issued a call for an immediate end to the violence in El-Obeid, Sudan. They expressed deep concern over the ongoing atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces and allied groups.
The ministers emphasized the need for these armed groups to cease all actions that could lead to further suffering and instability in the region. Their statement highlights the urgent need for international intervention to protect civilians.
Additionally, the G7 urged for a wider arms embargo to prevent the flow of weapons into the hands of those perpetuating violence. This move is seen as essential to restoring peace and security in Sudan.
