The UN is warning that another human rights catastrophe could be unfolding in Sudan. Hundreds of thousands of people in the city of El-Obeid have been cut off from food, water and medical supplies as fighting intensifies. The warning comes months after the UN said the siege of El-Fasher showed signs of genocide. DW’s Mariel Müller takes a look at what is rapidly emerging as a new focal point in Sudan’s civil war. Plus, analyst Cameron Hudson on why El-Obeid is becoming a key battleground and what it could mean for Sudan’s future. #dwcurrentaffairs
