UN condemns drone strikes in Sudan

The United Nations on Tuesday strongly condemned relentless drone strikes on civilians and critical infrastructure across Sudan.



"We also strongly condemn the reported killing of dozens of civilians in a drone strike on a market in the locality of Al Dibab, West Kordofan State, on Sunday," said Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for the UN secretary-general.



"This attack is part of a deeply concerning pattern. We remain alarmed by the relentless drone strikes across the country, as well as the damage they are causing to critical infrastructure. These attacks are taking a devastating toll on communities already struggling with the consequences of more than three years of conflict," said the spokesman.
