Ongoing War and Nationwide Instability all over Sudan

Critical

Country: Sudan

Location: Nationwide

Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) escalated across Sudan, with intense clashes reported in Khartoum, Darfur, Kordofan, and along key transport corridors. The risk to human life remains exceptionally high. Civilian areas are affected by shelling, airstrikes, and militia violence, alongside mass displacement, food shortages, and the near-collapse of basic services. These high-risk conditions are expected to persist through late December and into 2026. Advice:

Avoid all travel to Sudan, including major cities such as Khartoum, and regions such as Darfur and Kordofan, due to ongoing high-intensity conflict.
If already in the country, remain in a secure location away from active combat zones and, if possible, maintain contact with your embassy.
Expect severe movement restrictions, disrupted transport routes, road closures, blocked crossings, checkpoints, and a sustained military presence; adjust plans accordingly.
Be prepared for prolonged shortages by carrying water, non-perishable food, essential medications, power banks, and official documents.
