The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation issued a press statement expressing the Sudanese government’s profound regret over the reported civilian casualties in what was alleged to have been a drone strike on Al-Na’am Market in the Abyei area. The ministry renewed its solidarity with the victims’ families and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
The ministry categorically affirmed that the Sudanese Armed Forces had no involvement whatsoever in this tragic incident. It noted that the incident bore similarities to crimes that the terrorist militia continues to commit, as it did in Kadugli on December 13, 2025, when it targeted the UNISFA forces’ camp, killing several peacekeepers from the Bangladeshi contingent and targeting humanitarian aid convoys.
