Drone Strike on Darfur Court Kills Dozens Amid Sudan Army-RSF Conflict
A drone strike on a traditional court in Garra al-Zawaya village, North Darfur, killed at least 35 people during a session attended by local community leaders, including tribal leaders and RSF commanders. The Sudanese rights group Emergency Lawyers attributed the attack to the Sudanese army amid ongoing conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF condemned the strike as a horrific crime, reporting 37 deaths and 50 injuries. The area is under RSF control following their capture of El-Fasher last year.
