UN Probe Says Foreign Support and Drones Fuel Sudan War, Possible War Crimes
A UN fact-finding mission reported that foreign weapons, technology, fighters and logistics are sustaining Sudan's conflict, with drone strikes killing more than 1,000 people in early 2026. The mission accused both the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces of serious violations, some of which may amount to war crimes.
A United Nations fact-finding mission said on September 3, 2026, that foreign weapons, military technology, fighters and logistical networks are helping sustain Sudan's conflict and are expanding the warring parties' ability to strike distant civilian areas with drones.
The war in Sudan erupted in April 2023 following a power struggle between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has displaced more than 14 million people and created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, according to the UN.
In its report, the mission said more than 1,000 people were killed in drone strikes in the first five months of 2026. It accused both sides of serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law in their drone operations, stating that some conduct amounted to war crimes.
