Khartoum: In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Government of Sudan strongly condemned the criminal attack carried out by the terrorist Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia on Friday, 6 February 2026. Drones were used to target trucks belonging to the World Food Programme (WFP) while they were on humanitarian missions to deliver food assistance to civilians affected in North Kordofan State, specifically in the areas of Allah Karim, Al-Semaih, Al-Rahad, and the city of Umm Rawaba. The attack resulted in casualties and the destruction of relief supplies designated for humanitarian response.
According to Sudan News Agency, the Government of Sudan emphasized that targeting relief convoys and humanitarian assets constitutes a grave violation of the principles of international humanitarian law, particularly the Geneva Conventions. The statement highlighted that these acts represent a deliberate undermining of efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance to those in need.
The Government of Sudan also pointed out to the international community that this attack is not an isolated incident but rather a continuation of a pattern pursued by the terrorist militia aimed at obstructing humanitarian work and using deprivation of food as a means of pressure against civilians. These acts are occurring with the full knowledge of the international community, which has remained silent in the face of war crimes that demand accountability. The Government of Sudan calls upon the international community to clearly condemn these practices and to take necessary measures to ensure that the terrorist Rapid Support Forces militia and its supporters are held accountable.
The Government of Sudan reaffirmed its commitment to full cooperation with the United Nations and its humanitarian agencies, pledging to make every effort necessary to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to those entitled to it.
