The contents of this chapter include:
In Sudan a wide range of different groups and individuals can be considered as actors of persecution or serious harm. Moreover, perpetrators of violence, motivations, and alliances are not always clear-cut and may change given the fluid security context.
The primary opposing parties in the conflict were the SAF and the RSF, along with their allied forces as well as other armed groups that were operating more independently.
The following sections highlight the current main actors of persecution and serious harm in Sudan as well as their areas of control/ activity, in a non-exhaustive manner.
The situation should always be assessed in light of the most up-to-date COI.
