An air strike by Sudan’s military on a marketplace in Kabkabiya led to over 100 fatalities, as reported by Emergency Lawyers. The attack, which occurred on a market day, has been labeled a “horrific massacre.” Escalating clashes between the military and RSF have intensified human rights violations, prompting calls for international intervention.
The Sudanese military has been accused of executing an air strike on a marketplace in Kabkabiya, a town in the Darfur region, resulting in the deaths of over 100 individuals. The air strike occurred on a market day and was characterized as a “horrific massacre” by the Emergency Lawyers rights organization. As violence escalates in Sudan between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), both factions continue to deny committing war crimes during this prolonged power struggle.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan has intensified over the past 19 months, leading to a humanitarian crisis affecting millions. The current clashes involve the Sudanese military and the RSF, originally allied forces. The conflict has displaced over 11 million people, with accusations of severe human rights violations arising from the actions of both groups. The Emergency Lawyers group and Human Rights Watch have condemned these actions, emphasizing their violation of international law and the dire need for international intervention.
The tragic air strike in Kabkabiya highlights the deteriorating situation in Darfur and the ongoing violent conflict in Sudan. With reports indicating that over 100 people have died and many more injured, the need for urgent international support to protect civilians is more pressing than ever. Human rights organizations continue to call for accountability while the humanitarian crisis deepens across the region.
