Sudan Crisis 2024 - What You Need To Know
This guide is for those who want to learn more about the war in Sudan.
This guide is for those trying to learn more about the emergency in Sudan. We regularly update this page with relevant information. The last update was October 31, 2024.
Please sign up for our email list to receive direct updates from Sudan. You can also discover ways to help Sudanese heroes on the ground below.
Background
Sudan is a beautiful country in northeast Africa, just south of Egypt on the coast of the Red Sea. The country sits at the crossroads of Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. This is one of the more culturally and ethnically diverse countries in the world. Over 50 million people live here and it is the third largest country in Africa by area.
A civil war broke out in Sudan in April 2023 between the national army and a renegade paramilitary force:
The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) - the country’s official military that includes the army, air force, and navy.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) - a regional paramilitary group created by a previous military regime.
A variety of intelligence units, police forces, and local militias have taken sides in the conflict as well. The RSF also hires mercenaries from across the Sahel. Some of Sudan’s rebel groups from previous wars have taken sides, while others have remained neutral and are defending their own territory and people groups.
Today, the RSF controls almost all of western Sudan and parts of central Sudan including Khartoum. SAF controls the north and east of the country and parts of central Sudan. The past few months have seen mostly limited territorial gains and losses with two major RSF breakthroughs in south-central and south-eastern parts of the country, as well as the army launching incursions into the Greater Khartoum area. It appears neither side can achieve a decisive victory anytime soon. And it is the Sudanese people who are bearing the heaviest burdens.
Sudan is home to the largest and most dangerous humanitarian emergency, far outpacing every other crisis in the world.
Extreme violence has gutted the capital city of Khartoum. Countless towns and villages are being destroyed. Many farmers cannot work. The economy has disintegrated and prices of basic goods are skyrocketing. Most schools are closed.
But this war is not just between two armed groups; it is also a war on the Sudanese people. The RSF is targeting ethnic African minorities for extermination and SAF is blocking aid access to large swaths of the country. War crimes are being committed on a large-scale by both sides. The results are horrifying:
No one knows the true death toll due to ongoing violence, but a moderate estimate based on available data suggests more than 125,000 civilians have already perished from violence and hunger.
Nearly 26 million Sudanese —half of the entire country— are facing high levels of acute food insecurity. 14 area famine warnings have been issued and over one million Sudanese are already trying to survive in famine conditions.
Nearly 15 million people have been forced to flee their homes or have left Sudan altogether. That’s roughly one in three of all Sudanese.
Over 70% of Sudan’s healthcare system has collapsed and preventable disease outbreaks are becoming common.
Over 19 million children no longer have a classroom to attend.
Why are SAF and RSF fighting?
SAF and RSF used to be allies, but that changed after they overthrew a civilian reform government in October 2021. RSF commander Mohamed Dagalo (aka Hemeti) sees himself as Sudan’s rightful dictator, while SAF generals believe they are the true government. It’s worth noting that the vast majority of Sudanese want neither in charge of the country.
There are also significant ethnic dimensions in this war that cannot be ignored:
RSF- Top RSF commanders and most of their fighters hail from Arab tribes in the western Darfur region. Many RSF fighters adhere to an extremely racist, Arab-supremacist ideology. The belief system states that Darfur’s historic African tribal groups must be cleansed from the region and that all other Sudanese Arabs are inferior.
SAF - Top army brass are mostly Nile Valley Arabs, representing the most elite and privileged ethnic groups in the country. Unlike the RSF, the army is a fairly diverse force with soldiers from most parts of the country. Arab racism toward African tribes does exist in SAF, which explains why members of the force have executed civilians on an ethnic basis as well.
Gunfire between the two sides erupted in Khartoum on April 15, 2023. Both sides failed to decapitate each others’ leadership and extreme warfare quickly spread across the country.
Why isn’t Sudan in the news?
The crisis in Sudan deserves the intense coverage that Israel/Gaza and Ukraine have received, especially considering the scale of human suffering eclipses both of those conflicts…combined. This rarely gets coverage for multiple reasons:
1. The army and RSF have destroyed or cut cell networks and internet access in parts of the country, making it harder for ordinary Sudanese to get news out into the world.
2. The global diplomatic, humanitarian, and peacekeeping presence in Sudan has declined precipitously in previous years. There are few international eyes and ears on the ground who have the ability to get information to major news outlets abroad.
3. Western news agencies —American ones especially— have largely looked away following embassy evacuations from Khartoum in the early days of the war. Other international crises are treated as being more important for complex reasons, including how they affect U.S. politics, what drives clicks and revenue, the social media zeitgeist, and a general lack of interest in Africa.
There has been some solid reporting on Sudan in western media outlets, but never in a sustained way that helps people become engaged. You can help raise awareness and funds for Sudanese heroes by joining our global event Miles For Sudan.
What are world leaders doing to stop the war?
Most world leaders have barely noticed the catastrophe unfolding in Sudan. The few diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire have failed. International aid efforts are only 56% funded for all of 2024, and the year is almost over. This means that acute hunger is being felt in the refugee camps outside of Sudan too —where it is much easier to get aid in— simply because there is not enough attention.
The United States recently launched the Aligned for Advancing Lifesaving and Peace in Sudan (ALPS) Group to coordinate global action and secure a ceasefire and full humanitarian access. The initiative has provided a small boost to humanitarian funding and opened very limited aid access, but nowhere near enough to match the scale of the emergency. Meanwhile, some countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Iran, and Russia are making the crisis worse by funneling weapons to one of the two sides.
Domestically, a coalition of Sudanese civilian groups led by former prime minister Abdalla Hamdok —who was overthrown in the 2021 coup— has emerged to serve as a credible alternative to SAF and RSF. Ordinary Sudanese across the country are trying to help their neighbors survive every day by running public kitchens for the hungry. The international community could and should be doing much more to support the Sudanese people directly, including throwing its full weight behind Sudanese citizen initiatives to pull their country back from the brink of failed statehood.

Hundreds feared dead in Sudan after paramilitary rampage, suicides reported in aftermath
The latest war crimes in Sudan have torn through an area south of Khartoum, where the Rapid Support Forces recently went on a multi-day killing spree through dozens of defenseless towns and villages.
The latest war crimes in Sudan have torn through an area south of Khartoum, where the Rapid Support Forces recently went on a multi-day killing and raping spree through nearly 60 defenseless towns and villages.
•••••
18 months of war between the national army and a genocidal militia called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has all but destroyed Sudan. The country has been ground zero for the largest humanitarian and displacement crises in the world for months, an urgent reality not reflected in the international press. Khartoum already lies in ruins, as do countless other towns and villages. Multiple regions have descended into famine and there is still no end in sight.
Annual rains in Sudan reduced fighting the past few months due to flooding and washed out roads. The rainy season came to an end a few weeks ago, but a new surge in heavy combat broke out well before then as the army and RSF launched new offensives early. As has been the case throughout this war, an uptick in armed conflict is giving way to a surge in targeted war crimes.
Map: Location of Gezira area. (Operation Broken Silence)
On October 20, the RSF began blocking access to roughly 30 communities in northern and eastern Gezira province, just south of Khartoum. Main roads were sealed off and communication channels, including privately-owned Starlink terminals, were seized to try to trap residents and prevent them from getting word out.
Over the next four days, RSF fighters marched through towns and villages in northern and eastern Gezira. They fired live ammunition at civilians indiscriminately while executing others. The paramilitaries looted property and plundered markets. Then they began sexually assaulting women and girls.
Throughout the brazen assault the RSF expanded into more towns and villages. Nearly 60 have now been attacked. Over 119,000 people have fled Gezira in the past several days.
Right now, the heaviest blow seems to have fallen on El Sariha village, where more than 120 people are reported to have been murdered by the RSF. Roughly 200 residents have been wounded. Over 150 more are missing and presumably being detained and tortured by the RSF. High civilian casualties are being reported in the villages of Rufaa and Tamboul as well.
Getting information out has proven to be difficult due to the near complete communications black out. Survivors escaping the RSF blockade bring with them terrifying stories of executions, rape, and having to flee in the dead of night to avoid being hunted down by RSF fighters. Other eyewitnesses report seeing RSF soldiers beating civilians.
These stories align with the minimal footage and photos that have appeared on social media, including some posted by RSF fighters, who look to be proud of their atrocities. One video we reviewed showed a paramilitary dragging an elderly man by his beard and humiliating him as other soldiers watch and cheer. Others show bodies covered for burial, people fleeing their villages, and the RSF rounding up civilians at gunpoint as small arms fire is heard in the background.
Sexual assault seems to be a central feature of this RSF rampage. Fathers and brothers were killed for trying to prevent RSF soldiers from raping their female family members. Survivors have said the RSF is abducting women and girls, and reports are emerging that an unknown number of women in Gezira have committed suicide instead of waiting to be raped by the RSF.
Understanding these war crimes
The RSF has a well-documented history of rampaging against ordinary Sudanese after battlefield losses. The paramilitary force is built in a way that units are undisciplined on their own, but easy for commanders to take strong control of during major operations. Top RSF commanders often use this dynamic to deny knowledge of their war crimes, even when there is evidence commanders planned and executed a genocide.
With these facts in mind, the trigger for RSF war crimes in Gezira appears to be two-fold.
First, in September, the army launched a major offensive in and around Khartoum, reclaiming large swaths of Bahri (Khartoum North) and gaining a new foothold in Khartoum proper. We covered this in our last monthly newsletter. Army forces also seized control of the strategic Jebel Moya area in Gezira and areas in nearby Sinnar province a few weeks ago, driving out RSF fighters as they advance.
Second, Abu Keikel —a major RSF commander and the de facto ruler of Gezira— recently defected to the army. RSF fighters began attacking villages and towns in Gezira seen as “loyal” to Keikel shortly after. That’s RSF code for targeting just about anyone who is the same ethnicity as Keikel is. Many RSF fighters adhere to an extremely racist, Arab-supremacist ideology that says African tribal groups must be cleansed from Sudan and that all other Sudanese Arabs are inferior.
Gezira has been largely quiet for months despite the RSF occupation and, with RSF forces facing intensifying pressure from the army and losing a top commander, the paramilitaries are now taking their rage out on civilians along ethnic lines as part of their predictable pattern. RSF social media influencers (yes, that’s a thing) are even claiming that the villagers were plotting with the army to rise up against the RSF as the real pretext for these atrocities. While the army’s intelligence branch has smuggled weapons to a handful of villages in Gezira, there is no evidence that armed clashes broke out between the RSF and villagers before the rampage began
These crimes are yet another grim reminder that the Sudanese people will never be safe and prosperous as long as the RSF exists. Even if top commanders wanted to reform their paramilitary outfit, they are incapable of doing so and always will be. Sudan’s national army are no angels; indeed, that force is likely beyond reform as well. But the RSF always has been and always will be a terrorist organization, one that has reach beyond Sudan’s borders and can only survive by plundering the Sudanese state, private property, and the country’s natural resources. It is unhelpful and dangerous to understand the RSF as anything else besides the cancer it is.

Frequently Asked Questions - Miles For Sudan
Learn about the global event that is helping to save and change lives in Sudan.
What is Miles For Sudan?
With the war and famine in Sudan worsening by the day, our brave Sudanese partners are overwhelmed and in desperate need of more support. We’re doing everything we can, but it’s nowhere near enough to meet the massive needs on the ground.
Miles For Sudan is our invitation to you to get off the sidelines and into the game, from wherever you call home. This virtual event helps runners, walkers, and cyclists attach their favorite workout in a given month to a fundraising goal. You can participate from almost anywhere in the world.
How does this event work?
Miles For Sudan is very simple:
Pick a month to participate.
Set your workout and fundraising goal.
Get moving and fundraising!
You will get a personal fundraising page that includes a video and information about Sudan when you register. Every time you run, walk, or bike, all you have to do is share online how far you went and the link to your page asking people to donate!
You can even start a Miles For Sudan team and ask friends to sign up and compete.
If you live in the United States and raise at least $500, we will mail you a t-shirt roughly 4 weeks after your fundraiser ends! It’s our small way of saying thank you for your hard work.
Where does the money I raise go?
It’s a three-step process from your fundraising page to lifesaving programs in Sudan:
Donations are made to your fundraising page.
The funds you raise in a given week arrive in our bank account the following Monday.
We gather up donations for an entire month. Then, on the first day of each month, we send funds raised in bulk to our partners.
The total amount we send to our Sudanese partners is then reported in our free newsletter each month.
If you have a question about the emergency in Sudan or our Sudanese partners, we encourage you to check out these more detailed resources on our website.
Additional Questions
-
Absolutely! This is a global event and you can run, cycle, or walk from wherever you call home. There are a few exceptions as outlined by U.S law.
Your fundraising page automatically accepts 150+ currencies from around the world, which means most people can give in their local currency.
-
That’s entirely up to you, but we recommend starting at $250! You’ll set your fundraising goal when you register. You need to raise at least $500 and live in the United States to secure a t-shirt though. Every dollar you raise helps or Sudanese partners meet the needs of their people.
-
If you are looking to track your miles, you can use your Apple Watch, Fitbit, or favorite exercise app! We also have a free, printable daily tracker we’ll email you when you sign up if you prefer that. Your fundraising page auto-updates with every donation that is made, so the tracking there is done for you.
-
Absolutely! If you prefer giving your full goal amount instead of fundraising that is okay. Just go through the registration process and then donate to your own page.
-
We would love to see everyone achieve their fundraising goals, but we know that life happens. You have no obligation to reach your goal. Every mile you knock out and dollar you raise will still help Sudanese teachers, healthcare professionals, and aid workers.
-
Check out our Fundraising Assets if you haven't yet! Every now and then we have a fundraiser who has a hard time getting people to give despite doing everything right. Please reach out to us at info@operationbrokensilence.org if you’re struggling. Our team is here to help!
-
We've been working in Sudan for over a decade. Our years of experience have taught us this is the best way to do things, for three reasons:
It helps our Sudanese partners plan and spend the funds you raise more wisely, since they know how much money they have to work with for a month. They prefer we send funds this way.
It reduces banking fees by 75%, which means our partners get even more of the money we send them. Every penny counts when you're saving and changing lives.
It streamlines our accounting, gifting our staff extra time to focus more on fundraising, educating, and planning.
-
Participants who raise $500+ and live in the United States get a free shirt! Please allow at least 4-6 weeks after your fundraiser ends for delivery. If your shirt hasn’t arived by then, shoot us a quick messge at info@operationbrokensilence.org
