A drone strike allegedly carried out by Sudan’s army hit a traditional court session in Ghara al-Zawiya, North Darfur, killing at least 35 people and injuring dozens, according to a local rights organisation. The gathering, held under a tree with community leaders present, took place in an area controlled by the Rapid Support Forces, which dominate most of Darfur in Sudan’s three-year civil war. The army has not commented. Emergency Lawyers Group condemned the attack as a grave breach of international humanitarian law and urged an investigation, warning that growing drone use against civilian gatherings is worsening risks for Darfur’s already vulnerable population.
