April 2024 marks one year since fighting broke out between rival factions of Sudan鈥檚 security force, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), engulfing Sudan in conflict. The conflict has directly killed at least 14,700 people, and injured almost 30,000 more. Due to extensive fighting, at least one-third of the population is displaced, and nearly half the population - 25 million people - are in need of humanitarian assistance. In Darfur, mass killings and displacement have led to reports of ethnic violence.
Sudan鈥檚 conflict has had a catastrophic impact on almost every aspect of day-to-day life in the country. The scale and extent of Sudan鈥檚 deteriorating humanitarian crisis propelled it to the top of the 探花精选鈥檚 2024 Emergency Watchlist; the 探花精选鈥檚 assessment of the 20 countries at greatest risk of new humanitarian emergencies each year.
By synthesising research from 探花精选 and other organisations, and incorporating case studies from 探花精选 clients displaced in Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, and Uganda, this report aims to identify the multifaceted repercussions stemming from the year-long conflict in Sudan.
