The drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, killing civilians and impacting aid convoys, exacerbates the humanitarian crisis and instability in Sudan. This ongoing conflict and the targeting of civilians and aid efforts will likely deter foreign investment and further destabilize the region, impacting commodity prices and increasing risk premiums for businesses operating in or near Sudan.
A drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces hit a vehicle carrying displaced families in central Sudan, killing at least 24 people, including eight children. The attack occurred near Rahad in North Kordofan province. The Sudan Doctors Network reported the incident and urged the international community to protect civilians and hold the Rapid Support Forces accountable. This event is part of a three-year conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces, which has resulted in over 40,000 deaths and displaced more than 14 million people in Sudan. The United Nations and other aid groups, including the World Food Programme, have highlighted the severe humanitarian crisis, with nearly half of Sudan's population facing acute food insecurity. A World Food Programme aid convoy was also targeted a day prior to this attack.
