Map and article by Evan Centanni and Djordje Djukic
From October to December of 2023, the defiant Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group
accomplished a massive consolidation of control in western Sudan's Darfur region. By early December, the
country’s official military had lost its footholds in four out of five of the region's state capitals - though the RSF's control of Darfur was still not as complete as most reports implied.
(This second edition of our new Sudan map series
depicts control in early December 2023, based on research conducted
through January of 2024. Another edition, showing the current situation in 2024, will be coming in the near future.)
See all this and more in the latest update to PolGeoNow's rigorously-researched and exhaustively cited Sudan control map and report - the most precise and accurate available online. In addition to the updated map, the report also includes a detailed chronicle of changes and events since October 9, 2023, the date illustrated by our earlier Sudan control map.
