The UN narrative summary cites RSF conduct in Darfur in 2023, including the death of West Darfur Governor Khamis Abakar after being taken into RSF custody on 14 June 2023 and attacks on civilians in El Geneina and Ardamata. The 1591 regime's measures are time-limited: resolution 2828 (11 September 2026) extended them to 9 October 2026, and a further two-month technical rollover (reported 9 October 2026; resolution 2830 per UN press release SC/16470) extended them to 11 December 2026. Status should be re-checked after that date.
