Sudan's air force has killed at least 1,700 civilians in bombings on towns, markets, schools, and displaced persons camps, the Sudan Witness Project reported. Their investigation covered 384 airstrikes between April 2023 and July 2025 during Sudan's civil war. The project focused on attacks by warplanes operated only by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). Rival group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) uses drones, which were not included in this study. The Sudan Witness Project says the SAF used unguided bombs in crowded areas, causing massive civilian deaths and injuries. They confirmed strikes on residential neighborhoods, busy markets, hospitals, and schools. Mark Snoeck, who led the project, said, "The SAF should also be held accountable for their actions." At least 135 strikes hit homes and residential zones. Market areas were hit 35 times, often during busy hours. 19 strikes affected vulnerable sites like health centers and displaced persons camps. In one case, the project found a crater with an undetonated unguided bomb in the Zamzam camp in North Darfur, a place not controlled by the RSF at the time. "Why drop an unguided bomb on a camp for internally displaced people?" said Mr. Snoeck. Hundreds of civilians died in specific attacks, including 30 killed and 100 injured in a market bombing in North Kordofan. Another strike hit a hospital in el-Daein, killing 16 civilians including healthcare workers and children. The SAF denies targeting civilians, stating they only strike RSF military sites. However, many warn that the airstrikes show "a clear and unacceptable disregard for the safety of innocent Sudanese civilians," according to a British foreign office official. The conflict areas mainly include Darfur, with many deadly air raids in Nyala and other towns. The SAF lacks precision weapons, leading to widespread destruction and civilian deaths. Both sides have been accused of war crimes. The situation worsens as drone strikes rise from both parties. Civilian areas remain the main victims in this brutal air campaign, deepening Sudan’s humanitarian crisis. The Sudan Witness report will be publicly available on December 10.
