For more than two and a half years, the armed forces of Sudan have been fighting a civil war against the paramilitary rapid support forces.

Both have powerful weapons, but while the RSF uses drones to carry out airstrikes, the regular army, or SAF, has warplanes.

Now an investigation has looked at the impact of SAF air attacks.

Well, that was a video posted about a year ago of an airstrike hitting a marketplace.

A report by the Sudan Witness Project says that during the civil war, the army has killed at least 1,700 civilians in air attacks.

Mark Snook carried out the investigation.

I heard more about the findings from our Africa correspondent, Barbara Platascha.

That's by the International Criminal Court.

Tell us more about that.
