The Government of Sudan has issued two strong statements condemning what it describes as war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in several regions of the country, including Darfur, Kordofan, and North Kordofan. The statements highlight growing concerns over attacks on civilians, violations of international humanitarian law, and continued international silence.
In its first statement, Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly denounced an attack carried out on Friday, 6 February 2026, in which drones were reportedly used to strike trucks belonging to the World Food Programme (WFP). The convoy was on a humanitarian mission delivering food assistance to civilians affected by conflict in North Kordofan State, specifically in the areas of Allah Karim, Al-Sumaih, Al-Rahad, and the city of Umm Rawaba.
According to the Government, the attack resulted in casualties and the destruction of relief supplies intended for vulnerable communities. Sudan described the targeting of humanitarian convoys as a grave violation of international humanitarian law, particularly the Geneva Conventions, and accused the RSF of deliberately undermining efforts to deliver life-saving assistance to civilians.
The Government further warned that the attack on the WFP convoy was not an isolated incident, but part of a broader pattern aimed at obstructing humanitarian operations and using food deprivation as a weapon against civilians. Sudan criticised what it characterised as continued international silence, arguing that such inaction enables further violations and undermines accountability for war crimes.
In a separate statement, the Government of Sudan broadened its condemnation, accusing the RSF militia and its so-called “Tasis” authority of committing widespread war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur and Kordofan. The statement raised serious concerns over the use of advanced weaponry that, according to Sudan, could only be acquired through end-user certification, suggesting breaches of the United Nations Security Council arms embargo on Darfur.
Sudan warned that failure to investigate the sources of these weapons, as well as the entities and states allegedly involved in financing or facilitating their transfer, risks damaging the credibility of the United Nations Security Council and the wider international community. The Government asserted that accountability must extend not only to perpetrators on the ground, but also to those who violate international resolutions or remain silent in the face of such crimes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made clear that Sudan rejects externally imposed solutions to the conflict, emphasising instead a determination to end the war by dismantling the mechanisms enabling violence, holding perpetrators accountable, and preserving the unity of the state and its institutions. It also stated that those who support, enable, or ignore the commission of crimes should not be involved in efforts to end the conflict.
At the same time, Sudan expressed appreciation to what it described as fraternal and friendly countries supporting the country’s security, unity, and territorial integrity. The Government reaffirmed its commitment to full cooperation with the United Nations and humanitarian agencies and pledged to continue facilitating the safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Both statements concluded with a call on the international and regional community to fulfil their responsibilities by clearly condemning the attacks, enforcing international law, and ensuring accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed across Sudan.
