Fox News
The top human rights body of the United Nations has adopted a resolution to address Sudan’s worsening conflict over a paramilitary group that has resulted in the deaths of hundreds.
The Human Rights Council - made up of 47 U.N. member states - narrowly passed the resolution with 18 states voting for the resolution, 15 against and 14 other nations abstaining. The resolution aims to further scrutinize human rights violations taking place in Sudan since April 15.
The fighting in Sudan started as a result of a power struggle between the chief of Sudan’s military, Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, and rival Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who commands the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
