At least 40 people have been killed in a drone attack carried out this Monday and attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against a group of people attending a funeral in the Sudanese state of North Kordofan, within the framework of the conflict with the Sudanese Army.
The Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid of North Kordofan, Mohamed Ismail, has indicated in statements to the Sudan Tribune news portal that “RSF drones attacked civilians who were attending a funeral, causing the death of 40 people and injuring dozens more“, so it is expected that the death toll may increase in the coming hours.

According to estimates by the Sudanese Government, this city welcomed almost 20,000 internally displaced people last week.

“Attacking a hospital that cares for children is nothing more than another manifestation of systematic terror and a brutal attack on life itself. What happened in Kornoi is a full-fledged war crime, which demonstrates the magnitude of the deaths that are occurring, which have turned innocent civilians into daily targets of RSF fire,” he denounced.
In addition, has held the RSF “fully” responsible for “this crime” and has demanded that the international community and human rights organizations “break their shameful silence and fulfill their duty” to the Sudanese people, who “are being exterminated before the eyes of the world.”
These events took place after the Prime Minister of Sudan, Kamil Idriswill regret that the international community “has done very little” to try to resolve the civil war that broke out in April 2023 and will demand the opening of trials in international courts against members of the RSF responsible for atrocities, especially after the massacres recorded in the city of El Fasher after the conquest by the paramilitaries.
The Sudan civil war broke out Because of the strong discrepancies regarding the process of integration of the paramilitary group within the Armed Forcesa situation that caused the derailment of the transition opened after the overthrow in 2019 of the regime of Omar Hasán al Bashir, already damaged after the uprising that overthrew the then prime minister, Abdullah Hamdok, in 2021.
The conflict, marked by the intervention of several countries in support of the warring parties, has plunged the country into one of the largest humanitarian crises worldwide, with millions of displaced people and refugees and in the face of international alarm over the spread of diseases and the damage suffered by critical infrastructure, which prevents hundreds of thousands of victims from being cared for.
