DTM Sudan field teams have recorded a significant increase in cross-border movement from Egypt to Sudan. The total number of returnees has increased by 44 per cent in only three weeks, from 114,457 individuals reported in Return Monitoring Alert (1) to an estimated 165,330 individuals.
During April 2025, DTM field teams recorded 49,800 individuals crossing from Egypt into Sudan, representing more than double the number recorded in the previous month and more than the total returnees tracked during all of 2024.
Following the outbreak of the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April 2023, nearly 4 million individuals fled from Sudan into neighbouring countries. In January 2024, IOM-DTM Sudan began systematically monitoring key border points to collect comprehensive data on return movements.
