Overview

From 15 April 2023, armed clashes erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in multiple cities across Sudan. Clashes initially took place in cities across Northern and Khartoum states, later spreading across the Darfur and Kordofan regions.

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool is to collect information on large and sudden population movements as well as on security and climate emergencies. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation.

This dashboard presents information on a movement which occurred on 6 December 2023 in the town of Ounianga-Kébir, situated in the province of Ennedi Ouest, near the Libyan border.

The Registered IDP Area Baseline Assessment provides granular data on the number and geographic location of officially registered internally displaced people (IDPs). This report assesses registered IDP presence at the raion level, also mapping the recorded change since the previous round. Round 30 presents the data of the registered IDP population disaggregated by sex, age and state-recognised disability status.

The data collected for the Area Baseline Assessment Round 30 reflects the up-to-date local administrative register of the IDP population as of 30 November 2023, equivalent to a total of 3,540,799 registered IDPs. Registered IDP figures were collected for 108 raions. Data disaggregated by age, sex and disability status were provided for around 78 per cent of the administrative units covered. 
 

Since 08 December 2023, armed clashes have broken out in the municipality of Tabarre, particularly in the nieghborhoods of HT Monquette, Truitier, Tapage and Dumornay. These clashes caused the displacement of approximately 317 households (1,240 individuals). These neighborhoods had suffered attacks in July 2023 (see ETT 20) and later experienced a relative lull inciting some people to return there. These people have therefore just been displaced again. Nearly half of these people (48%) took refuge in the site of Jean Marie Vincent which was created following the attacks of July 2023. This site had 923 people before the arrival of newly displaced people and now hosts 1,523 people with the latest arrivals.
