SUNDAN DRONE ATTACK

Sudan: Horrific Drone Strike Kills Dozens of Children ​The world is shocked by the news coming out of Sudan, where a recent drone strike by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed at least 79 civilians, including a devastating 43 children. ​The attack, which targeted the city of Kalogi in South Kordofan, saw a drone fire four missiles that hit a kindergarten, a hospital, and densely populated civilian areas. Sudanese authorities, decrying the incident as a "heinous crime," have called on the international community to designate the RSF as a "terrorist organization". ​UNICEF has strongly condemned the attack as a "horrific violation of children's rights," noting that some of the victims were children aged between five and seven years old. The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has resulted in a global humanitarian crisis, with the violence escalating sharply across the Kordofan states. 🌍 Global Outcry Over Sudan Drone Atrocity ​The drone strike in Kalogi, South Kordofan, which killed 79 civilians, including 43 children, has triggered strong condemnation from international bodies. ​The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) immediately denounced the attack as a "horrific violation of children's rights," with Representative Sheldon Yett stating that "Children should never pay the price of conflict." UNICEF urged all parties to stop the attacks and allow safe, unhindered humanitarian access, noting the victims included children aged between five and seven years old. ​Sudanese authorities, describing the incident as a "heinous crime," have called for the international community to take a firm stance by designating the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as a "terrorist organization". This demand underscores the frustration over escalating violence across the Kordofan states, which the UN Human Rights Chief has repeatedly warned could lead to "another wave of atrocities". The international response is focused on protecting civilians and ensuring accountability amid what the UN has called a catastrophic humanitarian situation.
