The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) and the Humans Dignity Organisation strongly condemn the recent heinous attacks on civilians by the SAF Air Force Unit in the Tora area of North Darfur, which resulted in several fatalities and injuries.

ACJPS expresses profound concern about the recent political developments in Sudan, which could potentially further escalate the ongoing armed conflict, exacerbate the human rights crisis, and hinder accountability efforts.
