Sudan

UCDP organized-violence events in Sudan. South Sudan is a different country and is not included. The window starts on 15 April 2023.

These pages read public datasets. They are not a forecast or an instruction to fight. UCDP fatality figures are that source's low, best, and high estimates. An injury count is shown when a named source publishes one, including OHCHR for Ukraine and the Gaza Ministry of Health figures cited by OCHA. A missing line means that source published no number. ARC Warning is not an emergency service.
