RSF drones knock out power across three states as UK sanctions commanders over El Fasher atrocities
Sudan's civil war pits the Sudanese Armed Forces against the Rapid Support Forces, rival armed factions competing for control of territory and revenue since April 2023. Gold is central to that contest, accounting for most national revenue but largely smuggled through Egypt, Chad and Libya, so control of mines, markets and areas holding displaced people shapes both the fragmented war economy and the world's largest displacement and hunger crisis.

Assessment and what changed · the full read, since yesterday
The drone war widened from markets and homes to strategic infrastructure on 26 Oct, when RSF drones hit five power stations across three army-held states causing mass outages, while the UN's verified toll for October rose to at least 306 killed. The UK and 10 partners marked the first anniversary of the El Fasher atrocity with sanctions on 15 commanders from both sides and a warning that large-scale atrocity risk remains acute. Confidence is high on the verified casualty counts, condemnations and sanctions; medium on attribution for individual strikes which remains contested.

Drone warfare intensified sharply Oct 16-19, with market and neighbourhood strikes killing about 160 civilians including three children in Khartoum, up from a quiet Oct 15-17. The UN on Oct 19 said it was alarmed and the Security Council remains deadlocked on expanding the Darfur arms embargo, leaving Burhan's RSF-withdrawal precondition for any truce in place. Confidence is high on casualty counts from medical and UN sources, medium on attribution which remains contested between SAF and RSF.

Background in 60 seconds
written 27 OctSudan's civil war is fought between the Sudanese Armed Forces, the country's regular army, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary rival. Both seek control of the state and its resources, trading drone strikes and competing claims over attacks on markets and cities in regions including Darfur, Khartoum and Abyei. Gold is the war's key currency, providing most national revenue but largely smuggled abroad through neighboring countries, which helps fund the fighting. The conflict has drawn UN warnings that violence could spill across borders, with appeals for international intervention.
