Sudan: RSF Drone Strike Kills at Least 85 People in Darfur

HeadlineSep 22, 2025

In Sudan, a drone strike by the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces killed at least 85 people worshiping in a mosque in Darfur on Friday. The attack took place in El Fasher, which has been under siege for more than a year as the RSF battles the Sudanese army for control of the city. There have been reports of starvation as hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in the fighting. Sudan has been in a state of civil war since April 2023. Here’s United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres sounding the alarm about the situation in Sudan.

Secretary-General António Guterres: “The suffering of the Sudanese people is horrible. So, I think it’s time for the Security Council to be able to take, with the agreement of all the key powers, very tough measures on Sudan.”
