Drone strikes have killed at least 880 civilians in Sudan this year, with the civil war likely to widen in the coming weeks and put non-combatants further at risk, the United Nations said.
“Armed drones have now become by far and away the leading cause of civilian deaths” in Sudan, the UN’s human rights chief, Volker Türk, said Monday in a statement. Such attacks “will only worsen if they are met with utter impunity, with this violence being increasingly normalized as a go-to tactic by both parties,” he said.
