Sudan’s air force has carried out bombings in which at least 1,700 civilians have died in attacks on residential neighbourhoods, markets, schools and camps for displaced people, according to an investigation into air raids in the country’s civil war.
The Sudan Witness Project says it has compiled the largest known dataset of military airstrikes in the conflict, which began in April 2023.
Its analysis indicates that the air force has used unguided bombs in populated areas.
The Sudanese Armed Forces did not respond to a BBC request for a comment.
But it has previously denied allegations of targeting civilians, saying its air strikes are "directed solely" at its rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces "gatherings, location and bases recognised as legitimate targets".
