Bawadi Peace and Development Organization strongly condemns, in the harshest terms, the airstrike carried out by the Sudanese Army on the Kummu area in the Kauda countryside, which, according to sources, resulted in the killing of more than 40 civilians and injuring several others, most of whom were schoolchildren. This brutal attack reaffirms that targeting civilians is no longer an isolated incident; it was preceded in 2024 by the bombing of Al-Hadra School, which claimed the lives of dozens of schoolchildren.
What occurred constitutes a double crime: the deliberate killing of civilians not taking part in hostilities, and the direct targeting of educational institutions—acts that clearly amount to war crimes and grave violations of international humanitarian law.
The Organization holds the Sudanese Army and its leadership fully criminally and morally responsible for these atrocities, as the entity that carried out the attack and owing to its repeated assaults on children, students, civilians, and residential areas.
The Organization calls on the international and regional community to take urgent and effective action to stop these grave violations, end the policy of impunity, and adopt a firm and decisive stance against the actors who have turned the killing of innocents and the obstruction of peace efforts into a systematic method for prolonging the war.
The protection of civilians is not a political choice but a legal and moral obligation that must be upheld without compromise.
