Warring Sudan Factions Clash Over Drones and Oil Supply

Mohammed Hamdan 'Hemedti' Dagalo, El Basha Tebeig, the advisor to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander, has threatened what he described as a "decisive action" regarding the flow of oil if attacks by drones continue. The warning follows a series of Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) drone strikes on towns in South Kordofan, East Darfur, and West Kordofan.

They reportedly caused deaths and injuries and were described by RSF-linked authorities as systematic attacks targeting civilians and infrastructure. According to UN reports, drone attacks since January have killed more than 880 people. Tebeig said the attacks were disrupting civilian life and warned that continued strikes could lead to restrictions on oil flows.

Rights groups have criticised the warring parties for reaching an agreement concerning oil while failing to secure agreements on other issues.
