Conflict in Ad Du'ayn  (Ad Du'ayn Town), East Darfur

On 20 February 2024, clashes renewed between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Ad Du'ayn Town of Ad Du'ayn locality, East Darfur. 

SAF reportedly conducted airstrikes targeting RSF positions across At Tadamon neighbourhood. 

As a result of the violence, nine individuals were reportedly killed, and four others were injured. 

Estimates on the number of displaced individuals are yet to be confirmed; however, the field teams reported that the displaced households sought refuge with host communities and relatives within Ad Du'ayn Town. 

Field teams also noted that 20 houses were completely burnt down. The situation remains tense and unpredictable. 

DTM will continue to monitor the developments closely and will provide further information on displacement and population mobility across Sudan, on a weekly basis, via its Weekly Displacement Snapshot. 

Disclaimer: Due to the current circumstances, the DTM network is relying on remote interviews with key informants and further verification is not possible at this time.

*DTM Sudan Flash Alerts provide an initial estimation of affected population figures gathered from field reports. All information is therefore pending verification through DTM’s Emergency Event Tracking (EET) and/or registration activities and is not to be used as official figures.
