The war of attrition in Sudan has reached a horrifying new milestone in the automation of atrocity. A drone strike on the Al Daein Teaching Hospital in East Darfur has killed at least 64 people, including 13 children. The World Health Organization reports that the facility—one of the few remaining functional hospitals in the region—has been rendered completely useless. This strike follows a pattern of systematic destruction of medical infrastructure by both the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

This is the reality of 'algorithmic supremacy' when applied to the Global South. As major powers test autonomous loitering munitions in proxy conflicts, the human cost is borne by those already marginalized by war. Over 2,000 health workers have been killed since the conflict began, signaling a total collapse of the humanitarian norms that once governed warfare. We must name this for what it is: a war on the infrastructure of survival. The international community’s silence on these automated massacres is a testament to the triage of human life that defines our current era.
