Sudan, UN envoy discuss security, humanitarian situation

November 29 2025 (PORT SUDAN) – Sudanese Prime Minister Kamil Idriss held talks with Ramtane Lamamra, the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General, who arrived in Port Sudan in eastern Sudan on Saturday .

The two discussed the political, security and humanitarian situations in Sudan, particularly following the tragic events in El Fasher.

The state-run Sudan News Agency (SUNA) reported that Idriss stressed the government’s determination to cooperate with international organizations based on a government-prepared roadmap.

Idriss welcomed Lamamra’s visit, affirming the government’s readiness to work with the United Nations and its agencies to achieve security and peace and ensure aid delivery to those in need.

Lamamra said, according to SUNA, that the situation in the country is one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.

The tragic events in El Fasher occurred after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized the city on October 26. The group carried out retaliation attacks against civilians, including mass killings, rape, and arrests.

About 106,000 people fled El Fasher after the RSF takeover, out of 260,000 who were in the city before October 10. The fate of the rest remains unknown amid communication blackouts and increasing reports of continued mass killings and burials in mass graves.

According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) reports, 21.2 million Sudanese face high levels of food insecurity. Famine was declared in El Fasher and Kadugli on November 3, with warnings that it could spread to 20 additional areas in Darfur and Kordofan.
