The situation in Sudan escalated in mid-April 2023 due to disagreements between the Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the head of the Security Council, Mohammed Daglo. Due to the ongoing conflict, a humanitarian crisis has arisen in the country, which has led to famine and outbreaks of disease. Clashes between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group are still ongoing.

On November 6, the United Nations (UN) noted concern about the consequences of human rights violations in the state of North Darfur in Sudan due to the fighting, against which almost 82,000 civilians left the state capital. It is noted that local volunteers have received numerous reports of executions, extortion and attacks on people, as well as other systematic human rights violations.
