Sudan

There is grave political instability in Sudan. Since January 2022, civilians have been protesting and engaging in civil disobedience as a response to the end of civilian rule and the resignation of Sudan’s Prime Minister. Arbitrary arrests, detention of civilians and activists, violence against civilians continue with impunity as State institutions and law enforcement entities have severe capacity constraints. The deteriorating security situation interrupts access to markets and income-earning opportunities. Higher prices, supply shortages of basic goods such as medicine, wheat, fuel and agricultural inputs are drastically deepening the population’s overall vulnerability. Displacement rates are high in the country and internally-displaced persons are at increased risks within shelter camps, often forcing them into second-displacement as well. Protection and humanitarian actors often find it difficult to reach certain locations due to the proliferation of arms and constant threats of violence.
