Sudan Civil War Live Map 🇸🇩

This Sudan war map tracks the war that broke out on 15 April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti. Fighting began in Khartoum and spread to Darfur, Kordofan and other regions, producing one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises, with famine conditions confirmed in parts of Darfur. The map shows current reports of fighting, strikes and attacks on civilians, so readers can see where the war between the SAF and the RSF is being reported now.

The capital region of Khartoum, Omdurman and Khartoum North was the first battlefield, and the SAF retook central Khartoum in March 2025. Darfur in the west, and especially El Fasher in North Darfur, has been a focus of RSF sieges and assaults. Kordofan, between Darfur and the Nile valley, including towns such as El Obeid, Kadugli and Dilling, has seen heavy fighting. Events are also reported in Gezira and Sennar states, along the White Nile, around Port Sudan, which became the seat of the army-aligned government, and near the borders with Chad and South Sudan.

Plotted events include ground battles for towns and bases, artillery shelling, airstrikes, drone strikes, which both sides have used, including against infrastructure far from the front lines, attacks on camps for displaced people, reported massacres and sexual violence, looting, attacks on hospitals and markets, and incidents affecting humanitarian access. Each event carries a timestamp, coordinates, a category and a link to its source, so every point can be traced back to the report behind it. Where a report mentions casualty figures, those figures belong to the source and its date; the map does not produce its own estimates.

Information from Sudan is scarce and often slow: communication blackouts, restricted access for journalists and danger on the ground mean that many incidents are reported days later, if at all. Sources include independent Sudanese media, local resistance committees and emergency response rooms, statements by the SAF and the RSF, UN agencies, humanitarian organisations, international news agencies, geolocated footage and satellite-based analysis published by research groups. Every claim is shown as reported and attributed to its origin, since both sides routinely contest each other's accounts. Because this is an internal war, all events use a single colour on the map instead of a split into opposing sides.

The Sudan war map is neutral and factual: it records what was reported, where and when, without endorsing either the SAF or the RSF. Journalists, humanitarian organisations, researchers, the Sudanese diaspora and analysts following the Horn of Africa and the Sahel use it to follow a war that receives far less continuous coverage than its scale would suggest. New events are added roughly every five minutes, titles are automatically translated into English, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian, and the free dashboard keeps 30 days of history. The same data is available with an API key through the REST endpoint /v1/events?region=sudan.
