[Sudan] Violence against civilians: Attack

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and allied groups reportedly killed civilians in Khartoum's Al Azhari district on April 2, 2025, allegedly targeting suspected RSF collaborators. This follows a pattern of violence against civilians in areas where SAF regains territorial control from the Rapid Support Forces.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether violence spreads to critical infrastructure or economic zones in the broader Khartoum metropolitan area.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation from additional sources and whether civilian casualties escalate
• Track potential expansion of violence to other districts within greater Khartoum that could affect remaining economic activity
