Sudan Urges International Inquiry into Blue Nile Drone Attack
The Sudanese Doctors Network announced that 31 civilians were killed and 19 others injured in a drone attack targeting the Abu Shendi area in Blue Nile State. The Sudanese government expressed its request for an independent international investigation into the incident, which forces loyal to Rapid Support allegedly carried out. The attack targeted a displaced persons’ gathering and a water source, constituting a violation of international humanitarian law and potentially amounting to a war crime. It comes within the context of ongoing military escalation in the region, including shelling and attacks by Rapid Support forces, amid continued conflict between the Sudanese army and Rapid Support forces since April 2023. The conflict has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions of people.
