This report documents the escalation of the conflict in Sudan and its resulting widespread human toll, with hundreds of civilians killed and injured in attacks and bombings targeting populated areas and health facilities in several states, including hospitals in Al-Daein, Al-Jabalain, and Nyala.

On the morning of 15 April 2023, the sound of gunfire shattered the ordinary rhythms of life in Khartoum. Over the past three years, civilians have not simply been caught in the crossfire; they have been systematically targeted.

Sudan enters the third anniversary of this war on 15 April under the shadow of mass civilian suffering. This moment should not be framed in terms of battlefield calculations or the rival claims of armed actors. It should be centered on the people of Sudan who have lived through bombardment, hunger, rape, displacement, detention, disappearance, and the collapse of basic protection.

The war in Sudan continues, along with the grave violations that accompany it, many of which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. At the same time, the limited international efforts have failed to end the war or even achieve a humanitarian truce.

تشير الأوضاع الراهنة في السودان، ولاسيما ما كشفته التقارير الميدانية ، إلى تحول طبيعة النزاع منذ وقت مبكر من الحرب، وربما منذ بدايتها، من صراع مسلح على السلطة إلى حرب تستهدف سد الطريق أمام استعادة الدولة السودانية المختطفة منذ

ACJPS received information that indicates that approximately 13,000 detainees are currently being held at Diqris prison, a detention facility located in South Darfur.

In Sudan, the period between 2010 and 2018 was marked by enduring structural challenges that shaped governance systems and public service delivery. These challenges were reflected in the childhood sector, where multiple laws, strategies, and institutional arrangements existed, yet often operated in isolation from one another.

Between 2010 and 2018, Sudan undertook significant efforts to expand its child protection architecture through the adoption of multiple national strategies addressing violence against children, harmful traditional practices, parental care, and the protection of children in vulnerable situations. These initiatives reflected an important policy shift toward formalizing protection commitments within national frameworks.

While International Women’s Day is meant to celebrate progress toward gender equality, Sudanese women are facing one of the gravest humanitarian and human rights crises in the world today.

ACJPS expresses its grave concern regarding the arbitrary detention of at least 643 women currently held in the Korea Prison in Nyala, South Darfur, an area under the control of the Tasis political and military alliance.
