Shambulio la droni katika eneo la Abyei limeibua tena wasiwasi kuhusu usalama wa raia katika moja ya maeneo yenye mgogoro wa muda mrefu barani Afrika.
Maafisa wa eneo hilo wanasema watu wasiopungua 153 waliuawa baada ya shambulio kulenga karibu na Soko la Amiet, kitovu muhimu cha biashara kati ya jamii za Ngok Dinka na Misseriya.
Sudan Kusini na viongozi wa eneo la Abyei wameilaumu Sudan kwa mashambulizi hayo. Hata hivyo, afisa wa jeshi la Sudan amesema waliohusika walikuwa wakilenga usafirishaji wa mafuta unaodaiwa kuwa ulikuwa ukielekezwa kwa wanamgambo wa RSF, ambao wamekuwa wakipambana na jeshi la Sudan tangu Aprili 2023.
Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa amelaani mashambulizi ya droni karibu na Amiet na Todach, akisema yamesababisha vifo vya raia pamoja na majeruhi wengi. Kikosi cha amani cha UNISFA kimetuma wahudumu wa afya, vifaa vya kuzima moto na vikosi vya dharura kusaidia waathiriwa.
Abyei ni eneo lenye utajiri wa mafuta ambalo hadhi yake haikupatiwa suluhisho kamili baada ya makubaliano ya amani ya mwaka 2005 yaliyomaliza vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe kati ya Sudan Kaskazini na Kusini.

A drone strike on a market in Abyei, a border region disputed by Sudan and South Sudan, hit a nearby fuel depot, killing at least 153 people and igniting a fire that was still burning Tuesday, a local official said.
Yohanna Akol Ngor, the Abyei administration’s caretaker information minister, blamed Sudan’s military for Monday’s attack on Amiet Market, north of Abyei town.
“We have recorded 153 deaths,” Ngor told the Associated Press by phone Tuesday. He said the death toll continued to rise as the fire burned.
A senior Sudanese military officer said the army carried out a drone strike Monday targeting fuel tankers arriving from South Sudan that he said were bound for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
