Strikes on a Darfur market reported to kill more than 100, as UAE jails eight over arms

A rights group says strikes on a market in Darfur killed more than 100 people, including women and children, while witnesses say the attack hit civilian shopkeepers and RSF fighters. UNICEF said at least five children were killed and two injured in a drone attack on a market in Nyala, South Darfur, on Monday. On Thursday, the UAE sentenced eight people to life over arms supplies to Sudan's army, amid tensions between Khartoum and Abu Dhabi over the war and the RSF.

• A resident said a Monday evening drone attack on a market in northern Nyala killed at least 21 and injured 40.
• UN-appointed investigators said civilians in El Obeid live in fear of RSF drone attacks and a wave of arbitrary arrests by the Sudanese Armed Forces.
• The US, EU and 30 countries warned of famine risk in Sudan and urged the warring parties to lift all impediments to humanitarian aid.
• A drone strike killed at least four people last week in Bamina, Chad, and hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees have crossed into Chad.
