Defense Department denies report on Strait of Hormuz reopening in 6 months
Ingested from GDELT article metadata
The Sudan conflict, which escalated into open war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April 2023, has produced a significant and growing stream of conflict reports across War Activity Atlas. The war has caused one of the largest displacement crises in the world, with fighting spreading from Khartoum to Darfur, the Gezira state, and other regions.
War Activity Atlas tracks reported airstrikes, ground clashes, artillery exchanges, displacement events, and humanitarian access incidents from international news agencies, regional correspondents, and UN monitoring bodies. Each event is timestamped, tagged with the relevant country and location name, and linked to its original source.
The conflict's geographic spread across a large and geographically diverse country creates challenges for mapping. Events in Khartoum and other major cities often have more precise location data, while reports from remote areas in Darfur or South Kordofan may carry only state-level attribution. Our platform plots available coordinates and flags location precision for each event.
Humanitarian developments — including reports on access restrictions, displacement estimates, and aid delivery — are included as distinct event entries when reported by UN agencies or major humanitarian organizations. These are tagged separately from kinetic military events to allow filtering.
This page shows the most recent confirmed events for Sudan. Older events can be explored using the timeline and date filter on the main homepage.
