Mme Ersilia Soudais attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la grave situation humanitaire au Soudan et notamment suite aux massacres d'El Fasher. Depuis avril 2023, le Soudan est ravagé par une guerre civile entre l'armée du général Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan et les « Forces de soutien rapide » (FSR) dirigées par Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, dit Hemetti. L'affrontement entre ces deux forces, qui avait auparavant mené en 2021 à un coup d'État contre le Gouvernement civil issu de la révolution soudanaise de 2018-2019, a à ce jour causé la mort de plus de 150 000 personnes. La semaine dernière, un nouveau palier a été franchi. Après un siège de plus d'un an, les FSR ont pris d'assaut la ville d'El Fasher. Elles y mettent en œuvre un nettoyage ethnique. Les journalistes locaux parlent même de génocide. Les FSR se sont déchainés sur la population civile, commettant des crimes de masse souvent filmés : torture, viols, exécutions de civils. Plusieurs centaines de personnes ont été massacrées en une semaine (dont au moins 400 dans un hôpital selon l'Association des médecins soudanais). Ces crimes prolongent des décennies de crimes de masse au Darfour, au Kordofan et au Soudan du Sud. Selon le Haut-Commissariat aux réfugiés de l'ONU, 7,5 millions de personnes ont été déplacées à l'intérieur du pays et 4 millions ont fui vers les pays voisins. 26,4 millions de personnes sont en situation d'insécurité alimentaire. Malgré l'embargo de l'ONU sur les individus et entités non-gouvernementales, entré en vigueur au Darfour depuis 2005 (résolution 1556 du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU) et celui de l'UE sur toutes les armes à destination du Soudan depuis 2014 (décision du Conseil 2014/450/PESC), les forces armées en présence arrivent à détourner ces embargos grâce au soutien de pays limitrophes ou alliés. On peut noter, par exemple, l'aide majeure à l'armement apportée par les Émirats Arabes Unis (EAU), qui livrent sans discontinuer des armes et du matériel médical aux FSR. Pire, des équipements militaires européens vendus aux EAU (700 millions d'euros de commande de matériel militaire à la France en 2024) ont été identifiés parmi ceux utilisés par les FSR. En effet, en novembre 2024, Amnesty international a identifié des équipements français sur des blindés légers émiriens fournis aux FSR. Des équipements britanniques, canadiens et bulgares ont également été identifiés par différents médias ( The Guardian , France 24 ) parmi les rangs des FSR. Les États de l'UE sont pourtant tenus de faire respecter l'embargo qu'ils ont eux-mêmes décrété sur le Soudan, ainsi que celui de l'ONU ; cette volonté est pour l'instant totalement absente. Elle lui demande donc ce qu'il compte mettre en place pour accéder enfin à un cessez-le-feu immédiat au Soudan, ainsi que ce qu'il prévoit comme sanctions auprès des acteurs (entreprises ou pays) qui permettent la vente ou le transit d'armes françaises au sein de pays sous embargo.
