Situation Update: Sudan April 2025

April 8, 2025

The situation in Sudan continues to deteriorate as the country approaches two years in a civil war that has caused humanitarian catastrophe.

War between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted on April 15, 2023. Both sides have committed atrocities. In January 2025, the U.S. Department of State determined that the RSF committed genocide through acts such as ethnic killings, systematic rape and acts of sexual violence, and preventing access to lifesaving aid. Both the SAF and RSF have been accused of committing war crimes. While the SAF and RSF are the two primary warring factions, there are also several smaller armed groups and militias involved in the conflict.

Famine is widespread, civilians are being killed, hundreds of children have been raped, aid is being cut off. Sudan is engulfed by brutality and needs collective attention and action.

The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)
reported on the humanitarian and displacement situation in Sudan in December 2024. The following is a situation update as of April 2025.

Displacement Crisis

There are over 11 million internally displaced people (IDPs) in Sudan. Over 8 million of these IDPs were displaced after war broke out between the SAF and RSF in April 2023. In addition to those displaced in Sudan, over 3.9 million people fled across borders, seeking refuge in neighboring countries.
