Conflict Multilayer Map

The Sudan Conflict Map uses data from ACLED and IOM to visualize conflict and migration flow in Sudan beginning in April 2023. You can also layer the conflict and migration flow map views onto visualizations of FIC near term projected outcomes, population data, and trade flow data for the country.
