Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Armed clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continued near Libya Market in Um Bada, Khartoum on April 1, 2025, with unknown casualties. This represents ongoing urban warfare in Sudan's capital region amid the broader civil conflict.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether fighting spreads to areas with critical infrastructure or disrupts humanitarian corridors.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of clashes beyond Um Bada that could affect Khartoum's broader commercial districts or transport infrastructure
• Track whether continued urban fighting prompts new humanitarian access restrictions or aid suspension announcements
