UK Condemns Attacks on Displaced Civilians in Sudan: Statement at UN Security Council
17 February 2025
The United Kingdom has strongly condemned the recent attacks on displaced civilians in Sudan, calling for accountability and an end to the violence. The statement was delivered by the UK’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, James Roscoe, at a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Sudan.
According to reports, at least 150 people were killed and hundreds injured in attacks on two displacement camps in the Darfur region on February 15. The camps, Kalma and Hamadiya, are home to thousands of people who have been displaced by conflict and violence in Darfur.
In his statement, Roscoe expressed the UK’s “deep concern and condemnation of these horrific attacks.” He said that the perpetrators of the violence must be held accountable and that the government of Sudan must take steps to protect civilians and ensure justice for the victims.
Roscoe also called on all parties to the conflict in Sudan to cease hostilities and engage in dialogue to find a peaceful resolution. He said that the UK will continue to support efforts to bring peace and stability to Sudan and the region.
The attacks on the displacement camps have been widely condemned by the international community. The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, said that the attacks were “unacceptable” and called for an immediate end to the violence.
The African Union and the European Union have also condemned the attacks and called for accountability.
The conflict in Darfur has been ongoing for over two decades and has displaced millions of people. The region has been plagued by violence, human rights abuses, and a lack of basic services.
The UK is a member of the UN Security Council and has been actively involved in efforts to address the conflict in Sudan. The UK has provided humanitarian assistance to the people of Darfur and has supported efforts to promote peace and stability in the region.
