I can even say that El-Fasher has become a graveyard of humanity,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Hrncirova condemned the atrocities in Sudan &#8220;in the clearest possible terms,&#8221; underscoring that starvation and mass killings &#8220;cannot be used as weapons of war,&#8221; as doing so violates international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<p>She urged all warring parties to return to negotiations and &#8220;urgently achieve a permanent ceasefire,&#8221; adding that the EU stands ready to support both the talks and the implementation of any agreement reached.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson also called for &#8220;immediate, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access&#8221; to all areas affected by the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>On Oct. 26, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) captured the city of El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, and committed massacres against civilians, according to local and international organizations, amid warnings that the assault could entrench the geographical partition of Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>Since April 15, 2023, the Sudanese army and the RSF have been locked in a war that regional and international mediations have failed to end. The conflict has killed thousands of people and displaced millions of others.<\/p>\n<p>                            &#13;<br \/>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/p\/subscription\/1001\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"font-size:12px; color:#444; text-decoration:none;\" rel=\"noopener\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                    Anadolu Agency website contains only a portion of the news stories offered to subscribers in the AA News Broadcasting System (HAS), and in summarized form. <b style=\"color:#1897F7\">Please contact us for subscription options.<\/b>&#13;<br \/>\n                                <\/a>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BRUSSELS The EU on Friday warned that the besieged city of El-Fasher is no longer accessible to humanitarian&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[5340,2000,299,5187,2557,1699,177465,11144],"class_list":{"0":"post-555177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-anadolu-ajansi","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-european","12":"tag-european-commission","13":"tag-european-union","14":"tag-eva-hrncirova","15":"tag-sudan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115508674796151882","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
