In Sudan in June 2026, international attention turned to the violence around El Obeid. On June 23 the United States warned of imminent atrocities in the city, and seven European countries urged an immediate halt to the violence. The same day, a report accused Britain of failing to intervene in a massacre in Sudan in order to maintain its ties with the United Arab Emirates. Earlier in the month, on June 9, international calls for a truce were made to pave the way for a ceasefire, and a complaint was filed in Kenya against the Rapid Support Forces seeking justice for victims of war crimes.
