UN chief Antonio Guterres went off on a drone strike that wiped out 30 people in Katila, which is down in South Darfur, about 150 kilometers southwest of Nyala. The attack hit women and kids among the dead, and another strike dropped on Kutum in North Darfur the same day. Guterres called out both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces for not following international humanitarian rules while the civil war keeps grinding on.
Sudan's mess has been running since April 2023, and drone strikes keep stacking bodies while millions get displaced and famine spreads. The Katila hit went down after RSF grabbed the Heglig oil fields in West Kordofan, with some saying it targeted fighters celebrating, while others claim it straight-up murdered civilians.
Guterres wants countries with pull to pressure both sides into stopping the fighting and cutting off weapon supplies. Over 25 million people are dealing with serious food shortages, and the UN says it's ready to help broker peace talks.
