Sudan Civil War Live Map 🇸🇩
This map tracks the ongoing civil war in Sudan, which erupted in April 2023. The conflict is primarily fought between two main factions: the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), representing the state's official military, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The fighting, which began in the capital, Khartoum, has since spread across the country, particularly to the Darfur region, creating a severe humanitarian crisis.
Our platform visualizes the conflict by collecting and verifying information from open sources. We employ OSINT techniques to geolocate videos and photographs of clashes, track reports from local journalists and civilian networks, and analyze satellite imagery to assess damage and territorial control. This allows for a granular view of the situation on the ground in a challenging information environment.
The map is updated continuously, with a typical refresh time of five minutes, to provide the most current information available. It documents key events such as battles for control of cities, airstrikes, artillery bombardments, and reports of looting or civilian harm. The objective is to offer a factual, unbiased tool for observing the dynamics of this devastating conflict.

// FeaturesEvery event pinned to the Sudan map includes a title (in the original language plus automatic translations to PL/EN/UK/RU), a UTC timestamp, a category (strike, shelling, troop movement, diplomatic escalation), and a link to the original news source. Data can be filtered by date, category, or bounding box. Events older than 30 days are accessible only through the keyed REST API.
The map supports fullscreen mode, dark and light themes, infinite-scroll event lists, and — for Ukraine — an additional territorial-control layer based on publicly available cartographic data (updated daily). Every title can be reported as fake news; moderators review submissions daily.
FAQ — Sudan
// Questions and answersHow often is the Sudan war map updated?
The Sudan civil war map refreshes approximately every 5 minutes. Fighting in Khartoum, Omdurman, El Fasher and Darfur is mapped in near-real-time, though OSINT availability from Sudan is lower than from Ukraine or the Middle East.
Where does the Sudan war data come from?
Data is aggregated from publicly available OSINT reports: Sudanese activists and civic networks, UN reports (OCHA, UNHCR), Western news agencies, SAF and RSF statements on X and Telegram, and publicly available satellite imagery of El Fasher and Khartoum.
What conflict does the Sudan map cover?
The Sudan civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has raged since April 2023. It is the world's largest humanitarian disaster: more than 10 million people internally displaced and mass atrocities in Darfur.
Can I use the REST API for the Sudan map?
Yes. The /v1/events?region=sudan endpoint is available on API and API Premium plans. Filters allow you to isolate Khartoum, Darfur (especially the besieged El Fasher) or the humanitarian corridor through Chad.
Does the map show the Darfur humanitarian crisis?
Yes. The map tags as a separate category UN displacement reports, IPC food-security classifications (parts of Darfur are classified as IPC-5 famine), Yale HRL documented massacres, and refugee flows into Chad, Egypt and South Sudan.
