Special Administrative Area on the Sudan–South Sudan border.
Since Friday, drone strikes have killed more than 160 people across western Sudan and Khartoum region, and a separate market strike in Abyei has killed at least 153, local officials say. Warring Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces have traded attacks; the UN has warned drone use is driving civilian deaths and worsening a deepening humanitarian crisis.
Robert Kabera, a Rwanda critic who fled to Uganda, has been killed in a suspected beheading. His body was found near Kampala; authorities say the head remains missing. The killing fuels concerns about safety of dissidents in exile and follows other past assassinations of Kagame critics abroad.
The Abyei market attack has killed at least 153 people and wounded many more, according to Abyei’s caretaker information minister. MSF says dozens of critically injured are being treated and several buildings burned as fighting between Sudan’s military and RSF continues to devastate the area.
