The current situation in Sudan, as reflected in multiple field reports and independent media coverage, indicates a significant deterioration in the nature and conduct of the conflict. What initially emerged as an armed struggle for power has evolved into a pattern of widespread and systematic violence directed against civilians and the foundations of civilian life. Reports from conflict-affected regions, including Greater Kordofan and El Fasher, document recurring violations such as extrajudicial killings, forced displacement, widespread sexual violence, and the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure through aerial bombardments and drone attacks.
These violations are accompanied by the systematic looting of civilian resources and the destruction of livelihoods, suggesting a deliberate strategy aimed at terrorizing and destabilizing Sudan populations. Vulnerable groups, including women, children, and persons with disabilities, have been disproportionately affected, facing heightened exposure to violence and exploitation.
