Read more →Sudan remains in a severe conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which began in April 2023 and has spread across several regions, including Darfur, Kordofan, Khartoum, Gezira and Blue Nile. The war has created one of the world’s largest humanitarian and displacement crises, with millions of people displaced and many communities facing food insecurity, damaged infrastructure and limited access to aid.
Sudan remains highly insecure because of ongoing armed conflict, airstrikes, shelling, displacement, damaged infrastructure and limited public services in many areas. Conditions vary by region and can change quickly, so readers should follow official travel advice and humanitarian updates before making any travel or safety decisions.
The current war is taking place in the Republic of Sudan, often referred to simply as Sudan. It is different from South Sudan, which became independent in 2011. Sudan’s current war is mainly between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.
Sudan’s crisis is a combination of armed conflict, political breakdown, humanitarian collapse, mass displacement and economic disruption. The immediate war began as a power struggle between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, but the wider crisis is linked to years of political instability, unresolved security arrangements and disputes over power, resources and governance.
