Appeal from Kamil Idris to the UNSG

Prime Minister Dr. Kamil Idris issued an appeal to the UN Secretary-General, urging the Security Council and the General Assembly to lift the siege on El Fasher and open humanitarian corridors to deliver aid to the population.

The appeal urged the international community to prevent the use of starvation against civilians, as international law prohibits the use of starvation as a weapon of war.

The audio-visual message reads:

Your Excellency the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Your Excellencies, distinguished members of the Security Council, and distinguished representatives of the distinguished delegations to the General Assembly,

I stand before you today with an urgent and painful appeal. The city of El Fasher is under siege. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped. Families are starving, and children are dying before our eyes due to a lack of global resources, but also due to deliberate and intentional obstruction.

This is not just a humanitarian crisis; This is a moral test for the United Nations. International law prohibits the use of starvation as a weapon of war. The right to life, food, and medical care are not privileges, but fundamental human rights. Yet these rights are being violated in El Fasher with every passing hour.

I appeal to the Security Council and the General Assembly: Act now. Lift the siege, open humanitarian corridors. The people of El Fasher cannot wait for further procedural debates or postponed resolutions. Their survival depends on your urgent and united action.

History will record whether the United Nations chose silence or solidarity, whether it allowed an entire city to perish or stood steadfastly to protect the innocent.
