About

The Sudanese Army is the national military force of Sudan, currently engaged in a violent civil war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that began in 2023. Recent news highlights the army's redeployment of forces to retake territory in Kordofan and Darfur from the RSF. However, the army is also facing accusations of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure. Specifically, a drone strike on a hospital in al-Daein, East Darfur, resulted in numerous casualties, including children, rendering the facility non-functional. While initially presented as a mistake, reports suggest the attack targeted RSF paramilitaries using the hospital. The conflict has caused a massive internal displacement crisis, with millions attempting to return to their homes despite widespread destruction. The Sudanese Army's actions and the ongoing conflict are of significant international concern due to the humanitarian crisis and potential for regional instability.
