Monthly reportDataset: UCDP GEDData through

Search engines are asked not to list this page. They list a monthly report when three things are true. The page of the country is listed. The month is one of the last 12 months. The month has 20 or more events.

UCDP recorded 80 events of organized violence in Sudan in April 2025. The best estimate of deaths in these events is 3,150. The low estimate is 3,125 and the high estimate is 3,355. UCDP counts 1,190 of these deaths as deaths of civilians. The count for March 2025 was 60 events.

Among the 26 months with a report for Sudan, April 2025 has the 3rd highest count of events. Sudan holds 4 percent of the events that UCDP recorded in all countries with a page in April 2025.

Not all events in UCDP Candidate will make it into the final UCDP GED and new events will be added. The UCDP Candidate is a dataset containing events that have a high probability of being included in the final annual version of UCDP GED.

An incident where armed force was used by an organized actor against another organized actor, or against civilians, resulting in at least 1 direct death at a specific location and a specific date

When a source names no exact place, UCDP puts the event at the centre of a region or of the country. The area of a dot follows the best estimate of deaths. The largest dot is for 330 deaths or more.1 death10 deaths100 deathsOutlines: Natural Earth, with the first-level areas of the UCDP data. An outline shows where the events are.
