حَذَّرَتِ الْأُمَمُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ مِنْ تَصَاعُدِ هَجَمَاتِ الطَّائِرَاتِ الْمُسَيَّرَةِ فِي السُّودَانِ. وَفِي بَيَانٍ نُشِرَ فِي ٣١ أُكْتُوبَرَ، قَالَتِ الْمُنَظَّمَةُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْهَجَمَاتِ قَتَلَتْ مِئَاتٍ مِنَ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ، بَيْنَهُمْ نِسَاءٌ وَأَطْفَالٌ، فِي السُّودَانِ وَمِنْطَقَةِ أَبْيِي.
وَدَعَا الْأَمِينُ الْعَامُّ لِلْأُمَمِ الْمُتَّحِدَةِ أَطْرَافَ الصِّرَاعِ إِلَى حِمَايَةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ وَالْمَرَافِقِ الْمُهِمَّةِ، مِثْلَ الْمَرَافِقِ الصِّحِّيَّةِ. كَمَا طَلَبَ مِنْهُمْ وَقْفَ الْقِتَالِ وَدَعْمَ جُهُودِ الْوَسَاطَةِ.
وَجَاءَ التَّحْذِيرُ بَعْدَ هَجْمَةٍ عَلَى سُوقٍ فِي مَدِينَةِ نِيَالَا بِدَارْفُورَ. وَقَالَتْ مُنَظَّمَةُ «مُحَامُو الطَّوَارِئِ» إِنَّ الْهَجَمَةَ قَتَلَتْ ١٠٢ شَخْصًا وَأَصَابَتْ ١١٣ آخَرِينَ. وَتَقَعُ نِيَالَا فِي مِنْطَقَةٍ تُسَيْطِرُ عَلَيْهَا قُوَّاتُ الدَّعْمِ السَّرِيعِ.
وَيَتَقَاتَلُ الْجَيْشُ السُّودَانِيُّ وَقُوَّاتُ الدَّعْمِ السَّرِيعِ مُنْذُ أَبْرِيلَ ٢٠٢٣. وَأَدَّى الصِّرَاعُ إِلَى نُزُوحِ مَلَايِينَ النَّاسِ وَزَادَ مِنْ صُعُوبَةِ الْحُصُولِ عَلَى الْغِذَاءِ. وَتَرَى الْأُمَمُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ أَنَّ وَقْفَ الْقِتَالِ خُطْوَةٌ أُولَى نَحْوَ حَلٍّ سِيَاسِيٍّ.

UN Warns of Escalating Drone Attacks in Sudan
The United Nations has warned that drone attacks are escalating in Sudan. In a statement published on October 31, the organization said the attacks had killed hundreds of civilians, including women and children, in Sudan and the Abyei area.
The UN Secretary-General called on the parties to the conflict to protect civilians and important facilities, such as health facilities. He also asked them to stop the fighting and support mediation efforts.
The warning came after an attack on a market in the city of Nyala in Darfur. The Emergency Lawyers organization said the attack killed 102 people and injured 113 others. Nyala is in an area controlled by the Rapid Support Forces.
The Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces have been fighting since April 2023. The conflict has displaced millions of people and made it harder to obtain food. The United Nations considers stopping the fighting a first step toward a political solution.
