Note: DTM Sudan regularly releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to report on specific incidents that triggered sudden displacement in Sudan. Flash alerts provide preliminary estimates on displacement due to a specific incident, pending on-going verification from DTM field teams. Figures in flash alerts therefore may or may not be indicative of broader displacement dynamics. Further information on displacement in Sudan is available on the DTM-IOM Sudan website and in the latest DTM Sudan Mobility Update. This bi-monthly report represents an analysis of Early Warning Flash Alerts released between 01 December and 31 January 2025.
OVERVIEW
Between 01 December 2024 and 31 January 2025, DTM Sudan reported 50 incidents that triggered sudden displacement, including armed clashes (31), natural hazards (2), attacks or anticipated attacks (13), and inter-communal clashes (4). States with the most reported incidents were: North Darfur (32), White Nile (6), and South Darfur (4).
Flash alerts throughout December 2024 and January 2025 primarily reflected increased displacement due to ongoing clashes across North Darfur, as well as the continued attacks on villages across White Nile and Blue Nile states. Reported airstrikes and continued security concerns in West Darfur and South Darfur also triggered displacement.
