Sudan resources
The Sudanese people are under siege as the country's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continue fighting for control. Hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured. Sudan is on the brink of civil war.
CMI has worked closely with academic institutions in Sudan since the 70's. We have an extensive network of partners and active ongoing collaborations there. Here is a list of researchers and resources that can help shed light on the current situation and the developments leading up to it.
