Khartoum demolitions displace hundreds of thousands

A large-scale demolition campaign across Khartoum State has displaced hundreds of thousands of people, destroying homes, businesses, and marketplaces, according to a report by the Sudan Knowledge Centre (SKC). The campaign intensified after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) withdrew from Khartoum in March 2025. Affected neighborhoods in Khartoum, Omdurman, and Khartoum North (Bahri) are primarily poor communities. The report describes the demolitions as a state-sponsored eviction campaign.
