35 dead in Sudan army drone strike on Darfur civil court
At least 35 people were killed in a Sudanese army drone strike on a civil court in Sudan’s Darfur region, a rights group said.
Emergency Lawyers, an independent group documenting atrocities in Sudan, said on Sunday afternoon drones targeted the headquarters of the civil court in Al-Zawiya Gara village in North Darfur State, “a civilian facility that plays a judicial and social role in the region”.
“Directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law,” said the group in a statement, and demanded an investigation.
