Tensions Rise at UN as Russia Vetoes Ceasefire Resolution for Sudan
The situation in Sudan worsens as Russia vetoes a UN Security Council resolution aimed at establishing an immediate ceasefire amidst an escalating civil war. This action has sparked furious debates, with critics condemning the veto as a direct contribution to ongoing violence, starvation, and humanitarian crises in the region. Reports indicate that the death toll is significantly higher than previously documented, with over 61,000 deaths reported in Khartoum state alone. As Sudanese civilians face unimaginable suffering, the international community calls for urgent action to address the dire humanitarian needs and halt the flow of weapons to warring factions, which many believe are exacerbating the conflict.
