Three hotspots are triggered by conflict across Sudan as clashes between the RSF and SAF intensify and spread to new areas, such as Khartoum.
Based on our sources on the ground, we/Control Risks advises sheltering in place in Khartoum and other areas of intense fighting. Recommendations also include developing plans for the international evacuation of foreign staff along with preparations for local nationals, including accounting for their locations and developing plans for in-country movements to safer areas.
Fighting near main roads will also impede supply routes because of damage to roads.

Event data over the past 24 hours indicates strongly negative sentiment, even as the daily volume of reporting on Sudan has started to decline.
Conflict Unlikely to Spill Over to Libya, but will impact business operations
The Libyan National Army has denied it is providing support to Sudan’s RSF

New analysis published on 2 May 2023 raises how regional involvement in the conflict in Sudan – including through the provision of weapons and materiel – could further complicate security in Sudan and in border areas. A 7-day truce has contributed to a rise in stability, but our analysts expect international mediators to ultimately struggle to broker talks between the rival groups, and the pulse timeline is forecasting a small decline in stability over the coming days. We expect personnel and assets in Khartoum and Darfur to be exposed to severe security threats over the coming days.
