Sudan Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Sudan. The data is structured into country-year and country-month summaries to track conflict trends over time, with updates recorded through March 2026.

Strengths
