In a statement on X, Minawi called the events in the city "ethnic cleaning" and "genocide," fueled by ethnic motivations with "no ethical or political justification."

Minawi condemned the role of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their alleged backing by UN member states. He criticized the international community's passive stance, accusing them of treating the situation as a "dream occasion" rather than a serious crisis.

The governor announced plans for official discussions with the UN Secretary-General and the African Union Commission Chairperson in the coming hours.

He expressed hope for a strong response from these bodies, urging them to uphold their commitments and offer concrete solutions to address the violence. (ILKHA)
