During October 2025, significant security and political developments were recorded. The RSF declared full control over the city of El Fasher in North Darfur State on October 26, following a siege that had lasted nearly two years. This announcement was accompanied by grave violations against civilians, including summary executions and widespread destruction in residential neighborhoods—acts described in international reports as crimes against humanity.
Amid these developments, the US capital hosted meetings of the Quartet on Sudan on October 24, with the participation of the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt, in an effort to establish a humanitarian truce and a comprehensive ceasefire between the SAF and the RSF. While some Sudanese political forces welcomed the initiative, others—particularly those allied with the military—rejected the mediation effort, sparking heated debate across the political scene during the last week of the month.
The human rights situation in Sudan continues to deteriorate sharply as violations against civilians escalate and the armed conflict expands. October 2025 witnessed an unprecedented increase in violence, particularly in El Fasher, where one of the most devastating humanitarian crises since the outbreak of the war was documented. YCON observers in North Darfur State confirmed that hundreds of civilians and dozens of patients were killed en masse inside the Saudi Hospital, the last medical facility functioning in the city.
The city of Bara in North Kordofan State also witnessed significant violations against civilians after the RSF regained control on October 25.
Economically, the Sudanese economy continued to contract in October 2025 due to the ongoing conflict, which has disrupted agricultural and industrial production, supply chains, public revenues, and contributed to high unemployment and inflation rates.
Despite these challenges, grassroots and civic initiatives have emerged in several states to maintain community cohesion and address health and social issues through voluntary or self-help efforts.
