OVERVIEW
From 15 April 2023, armed clashes erupted between the
Sudanese Army Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)
in multiple cities across Sudan, including Khartoum, Al Fasher,
Merowe, Nyala, Ag Geneina, and El Obeid – among others. DTM
Sudan has been receiving reports of widespread displacement
across diﬀerent states in Sudan due to the ongoing security
situation. Field teams have also reported that the inter-communal
conflict has picked up again between the Masalit and the Arabs inWest Darfur. Following the recent outbreak of the conflict on 15
April 2023, the total estimate of displaced individuals acrossSudan has reached 736,223 (149,599 households). The current
assessment has observed the IDP caseload in 15 of Sudan’s 18
states. Namely, these include the states of Khartoum, Northern,River Nile, Aj Jazirah, North Kordofan, White Nile, Sennar, Blue
Nile, North Darfur, South Darfur, West Darfur, Central Darfur,
Kassala, Gedaref, and Red Sea. The highest figures o f
d isplacement have been reported in West Darfur (21.2%),
White Nile (25.6%), and Northern (14.4%) states. .
There are seven reported states of origin. States of origin are
Khartoum, West Darfur, South Darfur, North Darfur, Central
Darfur, North Kordofan, and Aj Jazirah. Of the total IDP caseload,
approximately 68.2% (502,200 IDPs) have reportedly
been displaced from Khartoum state. Of those having been
displaced from Khartoum, approximately 22,975 IDPs havesought refuge in other locations across Khartoum state,while the remaining 479,225 IDPs have fled to other statesacross Sudan. Prior to the conflict commencing 1 5 A pril 2 023,
DTM Sudan estimated that Sudan had 3.7 million IDPs - themajority of whom (an estimated 79%) were based in Darfur
and in severe need of humanitarian assistance (HNO 2023).
Due to the ongoing nature of the fighting, all reported areas
remain largerly inaccessible to humanitarian actors. DTM has
active operations in Chad, Central African Republic, South
Sudan and Ethiopia providing updates on population
mobility, including displacement on and cross border mobility.

White Nile

All IDPs within White Nile have reportedly arrived from Khartoum
state. Displaced households are sheltering with their relatives in
diﬀerent locations across Rabak, Kosti, Al Getina, Tandalti, Ad Dowim,
Um Reimta, As Salam, Al Rawat and Aj Jabaleen localities or otherlocations such as Al-Assalya in Rabak. Foreign nationals constitute102,375 IDPs (54.2%) of the total IDP caseload in White Nile. In
particular, field teams note that White Nile has witnessed a large influxof South Sudanese nationals via buses, private vehicles, trucks, andminibuses arriving from Khartoum. South Sudanese households stay indifferent gathering points (or with their relatives across towns andvillages in White Nile), while others sought refuge in temporary
shelters at gathering points. Many South Sudanese nationals havereportedly crossed the border through the Juda crossing point
to South Sudan.

On 24 April 2023, clashes between SAF and RSF took place in Ag
Geneina Town of Ag Geneina locality, West Darfur. Field teams
indicate that displacement across West Darfur is largely situated within
Ag Geneina locality (in particular in and around Ag Geneina Town). As
reported, individuals have been displaced from the Western andSouthern regions of Ag Geneina locality to the Northern region.
Additionally, a portion of the displaced caseload have reportedly fled
into the neighbouring localities. What is more, there are reports ofcommunities fleeing across the border into Chad. As such, following
re-verification, the estimated IDP figure currently in West Darfur has
dropped modestly since the previous update.

within their respective localities. Additionally, field teams reportthat neighbourhoods within Sharg An Neel, Karrari, andOmdurman localities have also been impacted by clashes
since 31 April 2023. Notable displacement has been occurring in
response to severe short-ages of water and electricity supplies inmany locations. Shelling of residential

Blue Nile
There have been modest levels of displacement from Khartoum to Ar
Rusayris and At Tadamon localities in Blue Nile state. Additionally, fieldteams note that the inter-communal conflict that erupted between the
Hausa and Hamaj tribesmen in July 2022, renewed on 22 April 2023,
due the security vacuum created by the absence of security actors.
These recent clashes led to the displacement of approximately 4000
individuals from Geisan locality to Ed Damazine Town. However, on 29
April, all aﬀected individuals have reportedly returned to their place oforigin in Geisan Locality. The reported caseload of IDPs in Blue Nile
displaced since 15 April 2023 were all displaced from Khartoum state.

teams indicate that these centres are yet to receive significant

Mixed Cross Border Movements
DTM has observed significant cross-border movements since thebeginning of the conflict on 15 April 2023. Individuals from Sudan
and foreign national have crossed the border with South Sudan,
Egypt, Ethiopia, Chad, and Central African Republic. Ongoinginsecurity, fuel shortage, and inflation significantly reduced themobility of people seeking. Anecdotal evidence based oninterviews with arrivals in neighbouring countries indicates thatpeople are subjected to violence, robber-ies, and looting by
diﬀerent armed elements.

South Sudan
IOM and UNHCR teams in South Sudan have recorded arrivals of
mixed nationalities arriving from various locations in Sudan to
South Sudan through fourteen diﬀerent flow monitoring points atthe border with Sudan. Most of the arrivals were tracked in Renk
(Upper Nile State), Rubkona County (Unity State) and Kiir-Adem,
Jaach and Majokyinthiu (Northern Bahr el-Ghazal State). Field
indicate that South Sudanese nationals have typically departed
from locations such as Jabal Awlia, Um Durman, Kurur, Fetihab, El
Kalakala, Gebera, the Islamic Centre, and El Haj Yousif iIn
Khartoum state. These households travel using two main active
roads of Jabal Awlia and Madani. Many South Sudanese nationals
in Khartoum have also travelled to Madani in Aj Jazirah locality for
temporary safety while they look for resources to facilitate theirtravels back to South Sudan through Renk. Families withcapacities to travel back to South Sudan are on their way to Renk
through Rabak and its surrounding areas in White Nile state.
Additionally, Sudanese nationals travelling to South Sudan
typically employ similar routes of travel. Overall, as of 7 May,South Sudan colleagues have observed 43,558 estimated arrivals,of which 40,295 (93%) are South Sudanese returnees and692 are Sudanese nationals. Reportedly, arrivals to South
Sudan have departed from locations across Khartoum, White
Nile, Darfur, and Kordofan states.

Chad

Central African Republic

Field teams note that the absence of oﬃcial security actors inlocalities such as Ag Geneina have led to renewed violence
between local communities in that locality. As of 7 May 2023,
IOM and UNHCR recorded arrivals of 41,017 individuals
comprising of 15,023 Chadian nationals/returnees registered by
IOM and 25,994 refugees as reported by UNHCR.

Through direct observation and triangulation of data from various
sources, IOM and partners in the Central African Republic reported
the arrival of 9,686 individuals (est. 1,937 households) through Am
Dafock crossing point. Among the arrivals, 6,230 are Sudanese nationals and 3,456 are the nationals of Central African Republic.

EthiopiaIOM DTM team has active flow monitoring activity in Metema
border point between Sudan and Ethiopia. Field teams note thathouseholds typically travel out of Khartoum state via Aj Jazirah,
Gedaref, and Kassala states. Field teams indicate that many
households travel first to the visa processing centre in Gedaref
Town then cross the border through Metema crossing point. Asof 7 May, IOM reported the arrival of 15,855 individuals predominantly composed of Ethiopian (45%) and Sudanese (16%) nationals. Seventeen per cent of arrivals were under 18 years old and 44
per cent are females.
