Sudan Air Force Bombs Civilians: 1700 Dead

New investigation reveals Sudans air force bombed residential areas, markets, schools, and displacement camps, killing at least 1,700 civilians. The Sudan Witness Projects analysis shows the air force used unguided bombs in populated areas, with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) responsible. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) also face accusations of ethnic massacres and genocide. The SAF has denied targeting civilians, but the Sudan Witness report found over 1,700 civilians killed and 1,120 injured in 384 airstrikes between April 2023 and July 2025. The report details 135 cases of residential area strikes, 35 market bombings, and 19 attacks on vulnerable groups. The project acknowledges incomplete research due to challenges in conflict zones, but their findings highlight a devastating cycle of violence where both sides are accused of war crimes, with civilians bearing the brunt.
