The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been accused of carrying out a drone strike on a children's learning center in Kalogi, Kordofan, killing fifty people—thirty-three of them children. Multiple sources reported that the attack was conducted using unmanned drones, with health and human rights organizations describing the strike as intentional. The incident adds to a growing list of abuses documented in Sudan since the conflict erupted in April 2023, as rights groups warn of worsening atrocities against civilians.
Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced a three-month unilateral humanitarian ceasefire on Monday, following the rejection of an international proposal by military leader Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti” said the ceasefire aims to halt fighting, protect civilians, and ensure delivery of aid. Burhan criticized the plan, saying it would weaken the Sudanese Armed Forces and legitimize RSF control in some areas.
