“We are deeply concerned by a video circulating featuring a man requesting a fatwa at a public event last night in Khartoum to allow him to assassinate the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Sudan Volker Perthes. The language of incitement and violence will only deepen divisions on the ground. It will not deter the UN Mission from carrying out its duties.”
