August 2025 Report

August 2025 witnessed a troubling continuation of deteriorating conditions, particularly regarding human rights and civilian protection. Violations expanded into Kassala and Gedaref in the east, Khartoum State, North Kordofan, and large areas of Darfur (North, Central, and West). Reported abuses included artillery strikes on populated areas, arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial killings, and severe restrictions on freedoms. These violations were compounded by worsening shortages of food, water, electricity, and healthcare, underscoring both the fragility of protection systems and the inadequate domestic and international response. Millions of civilians in conflict-affected areas remain at risk.


Economically, YCON reported severe shortages of basic goods and food in Abu Shouk camp, North Darfur.


The situation of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) also deteriorated. States across Sudan are experiencing worsening humanitarian conditions due to the rising numbers of displaced people and the proliferation of overcrowded shelters. Although some humanitarian organizations provided food baskets and aid, significant gaps remain, especially for IDPs outside formal shelters.


Below is the August 2025 report compiled by the Youth Citizens Observers Network (YCON), based on primary and secondary data collected by its local observers across all Sudanese states. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the political, economic, and social implications of the ongoing conflict, as well as patterns of displacement, the conditions of refugees and IDPs in camps, from July 27 to August 26, 2025, and targeted recommendations from youth aimed at contributing to the resolution of the Sudanese crisis.
