UN Probe Finds Foreign Support and Drones Fuel Sudan War
A UN report states that foreign weapons and drones are fueling Sudan's conflict and leading to potential war crimes. Investigators point to external networks supplying both warring factions.
Foreign weapons and drone networks are sustaining the war in Sudan, with over 1,000 civilians killed in drone strikes during the first five months of 2026, a U.N. fact-finding mission said on Thursday. The conflict, which erupted in April 2023, has displaced more than 14 million people. Investigators accused both warring parties of war crimes.
