Sudan War & Drones: A UN fact-finding mission says the Sudanese Armed Forces used foreign-supplied drones and loitering munitions in attacks that hit civilian areas, including hospitals and markets, with “reasonable grounds” to believe serious violations of international humanitarian law and war crimes. External Supply Networks: The same UN probe links foreign states and contractors to drone-enabled fighting, warning that weapons, logistics, training and foreign personnel are prolonging the conflict and expanding strikes beyond front lines. Humanitarian Hit: The UN World Food Programme condemned an airstrike that destroyed two WFP trucks near Dilling in South Kordofan, wiping out food supplies for 5,800 people for a month despite clear WFP markings. Regional Finance & Trade Watch: China and Egypt are deepening ties as Xi Jinping visits Cairo and port cooperation grows, with Guangzhou Port expanding container routes to Alexandria and Port Said—an angle that matters for regional trade flows. UNHCR Funding Crunch: UNHCR confirmed a 16% budget cut and plans to slash about 3,500 posts, warning of major knock-on effects for displaced people, including those affected by Sudan.
