"Saudi Arabia has reaffirmed its support for Sudan's territorial unity and integrity, denouncing criminal attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in North and South Kordofan states that have killed dozens of people, including women and children. In a statement on Saturday, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned foreign interference by some parties in Sudan, including the continued influx of illegal weapons, mercenaries and foreign fighters for the continuation of the nearly three-year-old war."
"The statement did not specify the parties, though. It came a day after the Sudan Doctors Network, a humanitarian group, said a drone attack by the RSF on a vehicle transporting displaced families in North Kordofan killed at least 24 people, including eight children. The attack followed a series of drone raids on humanitarian aid convoys and fuel trucks across North Kordofan, including an assault on a World Food Programme convoy on Friday that killed at least one person."
"The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Saturday the deadly RSF attacks are completely unjustifiable and constitute flagrant violations of all humanitarian norms and relevant international agreements. The ministry demanded that RSF immediately cease these violations and adhere to its moral and humanitarian obligation to ensure the delivery of relief aid to those in need in accordance with international humanitarian law and a ceasefire deal agreed by the warring parties in Jeddah in 2023."

The ministry called the attacks unjustifiable, demanded RSF cease violations and ensure relief delivery under international humanitarian law and the 2023 Jeddah ceasefire; the conflict has killed an estimated 40,000 and pushed over 21 million into acute food shortages.
