"Fatal drone strikes on civilians persist in Sudan's Kordofan, as the central region has emerged as the latest front line in Sudan's nearly three-year conflict, the United Nations has said. Addressing the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk painted a grim picture of the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has plunged the country into widespread bloodshed and humanitarian catastrophe."
"Turk also highlighted harrowing survivor testimonies from el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, which fell to RSF forces in October following an 18-month siege. He described accounts of atrocity crimes committed by the paramilitary after it overran the city, including mass killings and other grave violations targeting civilians. Responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies squarely with the [RSF] and their allies and supporters, he said"
The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has produced widespread bloodshed and a humanitarian catastrophe across Sudan. El-Fasher fell to RSF after an 18-month siege, with survivor accounts describing mass killings and grave violations targeting civilians. Responsibility for those atrocity crimes is attributed to the RSF and allied supporters. Fighting has shifted into central Kordofan, making it a new frontline and increasing the use of advanced drone weaponry by both sides. Recent operations broke sieges on Kadugli and Dilling, but drone strikes continue, causing many civilian deaths and injuries, with more than 90 deaths and 142 injuries documented from drone strikes.
