This research update provides an in-depth look at critical issues affecting Sudan, including displacement, economic challenges, and governance amid ongoing conflict. It features new research on civil society’s evolving role, the war economy driven by the RSF, and farmer-herder conflicts in Gadarif State. Additionally, it examines how hate speech fuels violence and displacement, the regional security implications of Sudan’s war, and obstacles to fund transfers for humanitarian actors.
These analyses offer vital insights for aid actors seeking to navigate Sudan’s complex and evolving crisis. The update also includes a special focus on the collapse of Sudan’s higher education system due to war, its impact on students and academics, and the challenges of sustaining education during conflict.

The CSF, hosted by Saferworld, was established in 2021 to support the aid sector in Sudan to be more conflict sensitive. We provide analysis, convene discussions, share learning, and support capacity focused on those issues of greatest priority for the sector. Together we are building a movement for better aid in Sudan.
