EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Sudan

NOT LIVE · SUDAN RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 → 30 MAY 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 1 Jan 2024 and 30 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 1,665 events of organised violence in Sudan from published sources. Their best estimate is 85,125 people killed — and their own range runs 29,747–101,416, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

1,523 placed precisely enough to map; 142 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

State-based1,180 events · 19,260 killed (UCDP range 18,306–20,193) — A government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.

Non-state27 events · 411 killed (UCDP range 411–413) — Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.

One-sided458 events · 65,454 killed (UCDP range 11,030–80,810) — An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
