22 October 2026

The BBC reports that Sudan’s army have been accused of launching several drone strikes that have reportedly killed more than 300 people, including dozens travelling to a funeral. The death toll from strikes in two areas of West Kordofan state on Sunday evening was 150 and in Abyei, a disputed border area between Sudan and South Sudan, 153 people were killed when drones hit a market on Monday. Please pray for an end to the suffering of the Sudanese people and for this conflict that erupted in 2023 to come to an end.
