Sudan: army drone strike kills 35 at a Darfur court, rights group says
Sudan's army struck a traditional court in a Rapid Support Forces-held village in North Darfur with drones on Sunday, killing 35 people, a rights group said. The attack hit as civilians had gathered for local court hearings.
The rights group Emergency Lawyers said Sudan's army struck a traditional court in the village of Garra al Zawaya with drones on Sunday afternoon. The strike killed 35 people and wounded several others.
The village is held by the Rapid Support Forces, the army's rival in Sudan's civil war. Local officials said the attack occurred as civilians had gathered at the court to resolve land and property disputes.
Sudan's army has not issued an official statement on the strike. Years of conflict in Darfur have displaced millions of people, and rights groups say attacks on civilian gathering points have been documented with increasing frequency.
