Foreign support, drones fuel Sudan war and possible war crimes, UN probe says
The report says foreign-supplied drones and fighters helped both sides widen attacks, and more than 1,000 civilians were killed in strikes this year, investigators said.
- On Thursday, a United Nations fact-finding mission reported that foreign support is sustaining Sudan's conflict and expanding warring parties' ability to strike deep into civilian areas, warning some attacks may amount to war crimes.
- Investigators found a transnational network involving the United Arab Emirates, Chad, Libya, and Somalia supplied the Rapid Support Forces with weapons, military equipment, logistics, and training.
- More than 1,000 civilians were killed in drone strikes between January and May 2026, and SAF strikes on Ad-Da Teaching Hospital in East Darfur killed at least 70 people.
- The mission urged the United Nations Security Council to extend the Darfur arms embargo across all of Sudan, though the UAE and Chad denied providing military support or knowledge of weapons transfers.
- Evidence indicates both the SAF and RSF committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, frequently targeting civilian infrastructure including Yabus Market in Blue Nile State and facilities in North Kordofan.
