The Sudanese Founding Alliance, TASIS, has accused General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army (SAF) of killing more than seven Native Administration leaders in a drone strike near the Heglig area, which is held by the Rapid Support Forces. TASIS said that the delegation from the Misseriya tribe was visiting the region on Tuesday when an army drone hit their convoy, killing Mayor Hamdan Jar Al-Nabi and several other senior community figures.
The group described the attack as a deliberate attempt to fracture local cohesion and deepen instability in a region already strained by conflict and displacement. Its statement said that the strike formed part of a wider pattern of systematic targeting aimed at unsettling communities and weakening traditional leadership structures.
The alliance blamed Burhan’s army for what it described a “crime” and urged the international community and human rights organisations to launch an independent investigation into the incident. It said accountability was essential to prevent further violence and protect civilians trapped between rival forces and competing political agendas.
The group also vowed to continue resisting what it described as attempts to undermine Sudan’s social fabric and derail hopes for lasting peace and stability. It called for compassion for the victims and swift medical support for the wounded, emphasising the human toll of a conflict entering a deeper and more dangerous phase.
