All eyes on Sudan

Since 15 April 2023, the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has driven 14 million people from their homes. It is the largest humanitarian and displacement crisis in the world. Almost no one is watching.

Not a party.
Not an institution. Citizens.

All Eyes on Sudan is a gathering of ordinary citizens, with no mandate, no salary and nothing to gain, who refuse to let this war happen without witnesses.

Sudanese civilians are the first victims of this war — and the first to have organised. We do not speak in their place. We back what they built themselves to survive: the neighbourhood emergency response rooms.

01 — Understand

A war
no one sees

Three years of war, besieged cities, famine used as a weapon. The essentials, sourced, in five minutes.

The two forces tearing Sudan apart were allies before they turned on each other: the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary militia born of Darfur's Janjaweed. What began as a battle for control of the state destroyed the capital, then spread to Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile.

Civilians are not collateral damage: they are the target. Neighbourhoods shelled, hospitals looted, aid convoys blocked, whole villages emptied. The UN fact-finding mission concluded that the RSF and allied forces were using starvation as a method of warfare — a war crime.

Why the silence?

Power, internet and phone blackouts cut off entire regions. Journalists cannot reach the fighting, and neither can humanitarian assessment teams: the published figures are floors, not ceilings.

The result: the largest humanitarian crisis on earth takes up a sliver of media attention. That is exactly why this initiative exists.

Hunger

Nearly 19.5 million people face acute food insecurity, 135,000 of them at catastrophic levels. In 2026, 4.2 million children under five and pregnant or breastfeeding women suffer acute malnutrition, including 825,000 children in its severe form — fatal without treatment.

Exile

Fourteen million people have fled their homes: nine million displaced inside the country, more than 4.5 million across a border — Chad, Egypt, South Sudan, Libya, Ethiopia, Uganda, the Central African Republic. About half are children.

Abandonment

In 2025, less than 40% of the humanitarian aid required was actually funded. The cuts forced many emergency kitchens to close — often a neighbourhood's only source of food. In 2026 the response is falling even further behind.

Milestones

  1. The war breaks out

    Fighting between the army and the RSF begins in Khartoum and spreads within weeks across much of the country.

  2. First famine confirmed

    Famine (IPC Phase 5) is confirmed at the Zamzam displacement camp in North Darfur. Sudan is then the only country in the world with a declared famine.

  3. The siege of El Fasher

    Eighteen months of encirclement. In September 2025 famine is confirmed in El Fasher and in Kadugli. The city falls on 26 October 2025: the UN documents massacres of fleeing civilians and sexual violence. Tens of thousands scatter towards Tawila.

  4. Famine spreads

    In Um Baru, acute malnutrition reaches nearly 53% of children aged six months to five years; in Kernoi, 34%. The critical threshold used by specialists is 30%.

  5. TodayOngoing

    The IPC analysis of 15 May 2026 confirms no area currently in famine, but identifies fourteen hotspots at risk in Darfur and South Kordofan, and 135,000 people in catastrophic conditions. The rainy season makes roads impassable and closes off humanitarian access again.

“This nightmare must end. That requires unity and urgency.”
