The Sudanese army conducted a drone strike on a traditional court in Garra al-Zawaya, North Darfur, resulting in the deaths of 35 people, including four tribal leaders and two commanders of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to The Emergency Lawyers. The attack occurred as civilians gathered for hearings on local cases and disputes.

Background of the Conflict

The village of Garra al-Zawaya is under the control of the RSF, which has been engaged in a brutal conflict with the Sudanese army since April 2023. The RSF, which emerged from the Janjaweed militia, has been accused of numerous atrocities, including systematic sexual violence, looting, and mass atrocities.

Recent Developments

Following the RSF's capture of El-Fasher, the army's last stronghold in Darfur, both sides have increasingly relied on drone warfare. The UN has reported that more than 1,000 civilians were killed in drone strikes during the first five months of this year. The RSF has also intensified its attacks on El-Obeid, prompting the UN to issue a 'red alert' over the unfolding 'catastrophe'.
