The Deadly Rise of RSF Drone Strikes: Civilian Terror and Humanitarian Collapse in Sudan
Overview
In 2026, Sudan's conflict escalated with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) shifting to drone attacks targeting civilians, including deadly strikes on a funeral and vehicles near Khartoum. These attacks, supported by foreign backing, have caused massive displacement of nearly 13 million people, widespread food shortages, and a collapsing health system. Despite international condemnation, sanctions, and calls for peace, the conflict remains a stalemate fueled by external support and deep mistrust. The ongoing drone warfare intensifies the humanitarian crisis, obstructs aid delivery, and perpetuates violence, highlighting the urgent need for accountability, civilian protection, and an inclusive peace process to end Sudan's suffering.
