In Sudan, a surge in drone strikes within the Kordofan region has resulted in significant civilian casualties and hindered humanitarian aid operations. This conflict has escalated as the war approaches its three-year mark. Recent reports indicate that at least 77 individuals have lost their lives, with many others suffering injuries in a series of attacks primarily orchestrated by the paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces. These attacks have occurred in densely populated areas, amplifying concerns among analysts and humanitarian workers regarding the ongoing violence. The military's reliance on drones and airstrikes has markedly increased over the past year, especially as the conflict has transitioned westward. Analysts, including Jalale Getachew Birru from ACLED, highlight Kordofan's emergence as a critical theater of operations in the war. The military's recent claims of breaking a siege on Kadugli have been met with skepticism, as the fight for control of the city continues to unfold amid ongoing violence. Residents, like Omran Ahmed of Dilling, report growing fear as drone strikes intensify, endangering more civilian lives. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk has raised alarms regarding the high number of civilian deaths resulting from these strikes, noting that over 50 civilians were killed in just two days. Both government-controlled and RSF-controlled areas have witnessed these tragic incidents, suggesting that both factions may be complicit in targeting civilians. This indiscriminate violence has compounded the difficulties of delivering aid; a U.N. convoy was only recently able to reach Dilling and Kadugli with assistance for over 130,000 people, marking the first significant delivery in three months. The dynamics of the conflict indicate a shift as the military seeks to extend its influence into the neighboring Darfur region. Analysts predict that bombing campaigns will continue to escalate in both frequency and intensity. This strategic push aims to retake el-Fasher city, the last stronghold of the military in North Darfur, which fell to the RSF. As both sides grapple with troop shortages, they increasingly rely on drone warfare, a tactic that has proven detrimental to civilian populations caught in the crossfire.
