Overview
- Six Bangladeshi UN peacekeepers with UNISFA were killed and six injured in a drone strike on a UN camp in Kadugli, with Sudan’s army-aligned government blaming the RSF.
- Hours earlier, an RSF drone attack in el-Obeid killed at least three and wounded nine, reflecting the group’s expanding use of air power across Kordofan.
- The UK froze assets and imposed travel bans on four RSF commanders, including deputy leader Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, and announced a £21 million aid package for lifesaving relief.
- The U.S. Treasury sanctioned a Colombia-centered network accused of recruiting former Colombian soldiers, including minors, for the RSF, naming Alvaro Andres Quijano Becerra and firms A4SI, Global Staffing and Maine Global Corp.
- The World Food Programme warned it will cut food rations by up to 70 percent starting in January without new funding, as 20 million face malnutrition and six million confront famine-like conditions.
