Drones kill 104 civilians in Sudan's Kordofan
In Sudan, there have been some very sad events.
Over the past two weeks, drones have attacked people in a place called Kordofan.
More than 100 people, including many children, were hurt or killed.
The United Nations, which is like a big group of countries working together, said this is very bad and that there is a lot of fighting in that area.
The fighting is between different groups in Sudan.
The United Nations wants everyone to stop fighting and be safe.
At least 104 people, including 43 children, were killed in drone attacks in Sudan’s Kordofan region since December 4.
The attacks occurred amid clashes between the Sudanese Army, the Rapid Support Forces, and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed alarm at the intensification of hostilities.
The Kordofan region comprises three states in central and southern Sudan.
The information was reported by the U.N. human rights office on December 16.
