Sudan Witness was launched in April 2023, and monitors, analyses, verifies, and archives information pertaining to human rights interferences and conflict incidents in Sudan’s current conflict. By doing so, the project is able to provide reliable information to stakeholders including humanitarian, media, and advocacy initiatives, as well as to justice and accountability mechanisms holding perpetrators to account. The project focuses its efforts on the whole of Sudan, looking into topics such as armed group activity, civilian impact, infrastructural damage, village fires, conflict-related sexual violence, and hate speech and inflammatory language.
