Press Statement
56 Civilians Killed, Including 17 Children, and 107 Injured in Kutum Massacre by Terrorist Muslim Brotherhood Army 

There is increase in the  number of  casualties of  the horrific massacre committed by the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood army in the city of Kutum, North Darfur where a drone strike targeted a wedding celebration on the evening of Wednesday, April 8th, 2026. 

The death toll has now risen to 56 civilians, including 17 children, with 107 others injured, while rescue and recovery operations are still ongoing. This devastating attack deliberately targeted a civilian social gathering, turning a moment of celebration into a scene of mass death and destruction. 

This heinous crime represents a continuation of the racist and criminal doctrine pursued by the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood army, which has repeatedly targeted civilians, social gatherings, and residential areas in Darfur and across Sudan. Such acts constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law and amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. 

The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) calls upon all Sudanese people to expose the crimes and practices of this terrorist army and to stand united behind TASIS and its forces in the struggle to end terrorism and restore Sudan’s dignity, security, and sovereignty.
We call upon the international community and its institutions to formally designate this criminal army as a terrorist organization, as it does not represent Sudan nor function as a national military institution, but rather operates as an extremist and violent militia responsible for systematic atrocities against civilians. 

The Sudan Founding Alliance reserves the full right to respond to this crime and reaffirms its determination to continue the struggle to defeat these criminal forces and liberate all Sudanese territory from terrorism and organized violence. 

We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs, wish a speedy recovery to the wounded, and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to freedom and justice.
Glory to the martyrs. Freedom for Sudan. The revolution continues.
