Condemnation of the recent Sudanese massacre of students in the Komo area of the Nuba Mountains

In continuation of its series of racist attacks against innocent civilians, the terrorist Islamic army of Sudan once again committed a massacre against innocent students in the Komo area of the Nuba Mountains region on the morning of Saturday, 29 November 2025, using two drones. This brutal attack resulted in 48 deaths instantly, after three more people died from their injuries. Most of the victims were school students, and more than 8 citizens, including women and children, were seriously injured.

The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement – North in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland condemns this blatant assault in the strongest terms and denounces these systematic and ongoing airstrikes carried out by the Sudanese Islamic army targeting school children and unarmed civilians. This atrocious crime is neither the first nor likely the last in which the army of the Islamic Movement targets students, children, and women in areas administered by the SPLM-N.

In 2000, an Antonov aircraft dropped a bomb on the Catholic Church school in Kauda, killing 20 pupils and a teacher. The second incident occurred in 2016, when a Sukhoi fighter jet dropped a bomb that killed six children from the same family in the town of Heiban. The third took place at Al-Hadrah School on 14 March 2024 in Delami County, when a Sudanese army Antonov aircraft bombed the village, killing 11 students and two teachers and injuring 45 innocent unarmed civilians, most of them children.

These are only a few examples of the many attacks carried out by the Sudanese Islamic army against children, unarmed women, and civilian targets in the liberated areas under SPLM-N administration. This confirms that the so-called government of Sudan based in the city of Port Sudan (the gang of Port Sudan) has no desire for peace through the roadmap proposed by the Quad—which the Tasis Alliance accepted—and whose leader announced a unilateral humanitarian truce. The army of the Islamic Movement remains a threat to national, regional, and international peace and security and an obstacle to any effort toward peaceful democratic civilian transition in Sudan.

The situation is made even more dangerous by the fact that this terrorist group possesses chemical weapons and has used them in numerous civil wars it has sparked, the latest being the ongoing war that began on 15 April 2023. Therefore, we hope that the regional and international community will play its role in stopping this criminal group, forcing it to halt the war, and sending clear messages to end the human massacres it commits and continues to commit and to deter it from using internationally prohibited chemical weapons.

We extend our condolences to ourselves and to the bereaved families on the loss of these innocent students. We affirm that these crimes will not be forgiven and surely not forgotten, and their perpetrators will not escape accountability and punishment sooner or later.

The struggle continues, and victory is certain.
