The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) said on Thursday that at least 56 civilians, including 17 children, were killed and 107 others wounded in what it described as a drone strike carried out by the SAF on a wedding celebration in Kutum, North Darfur.
In a statement published on its official channels, the alliance said the attack took place on Wednesday evening, April 8, when a drone allegedly targeted a civilian gathering, turning a wedding into what it called a “scene of mass death and destruction.” It added that rescue operations were still ongoing, suggesting the toll could rise further.
TASIS blamed what it referred to as the “Muslim Brotherhood-linked army” for the strike, accusing it of deliberately targeting civilians and social gatherings in Darfur and other parts of Sudan. The group said such attacks reflect a “systematic pattern” and described the incident as a potential war crime and crime against humanity.
The alliance called on Sudanese citizens to mobilize against what it described as ongoing abuses and urged the international community to designate General al-Burhan’s SAF as a terrorist organization, arguing that it no longer functions as a national military institution.
TASIS also warned it reserved the right to respond to the incident, reaffirming its commitment to continue military operations against its adversaries.
There was no immediate comment from SAF regarding the allegations. Independent verification of the incident and casualty figures was not immediately available.
