“The United States strongly condemns the strike on a wedding celebration in Kutum, which has killed at least 58 people. This troubling pattern of targeting civilians must stop and will stop if both sides accept a humanitarian truce and honour their commitments,” Boulos wrote.
“The violence must end to enable the injured to heal in peace and bring humanitarian assistance to those in desperate need.”
The strike is the latest in an intensifying dronefare between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who have been at war since April 2023. According to the United Nations (UN), the nearly three-year conflict in Sudan has killed more than 40,000 people, but humanitarian and aid groups say the number could be much higher.
The ongoing war has been described by the UN as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
