According to Al Jazeera, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned drone attacks against civilians in Sudan on Saturday. This follows a strike on a market in the city of Nyala, Darfur, which resulted in 102 deaths and 113 injuries. Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the Secretary-General, stated that the use of drones across Sudan and the disputed Abyei region has killed hundreds of civilians, including women and children, in violation of international humanitarian law. Guterres called on the warring parties to agree to a cessation of hostilities without delay. According to UN reports, at least 1,100 people have been killed in drone attacks across Sudan during the first half of this year, with over 300 killed in air strikes during the month of October alone.
