Sudan
Conflict between North and South Sudan, from the 1950s until 1972 and then again from 1983 until 2005, resulted in the deaths of more than two million people.
The number of deaths in the Darfur conflict, which began in February 2003 and largely ended with a peace agreement in January 2010, has been estimated in the hundreds of thousands.
In September 2022, the Guardian newspaper reported that families of people who had gone missing in the unrest that led to and then followed the 2019 removal from power of president Omar al-Bashir were contesting plans to bury more than 3,000 unidentified bodies in the country’s mortuaries.
Organizations that have been active in human rights advocacy in Sudan include the Khartoum International Centre for Human Rights the Sudan Social Development Organization (SUDO), the Amel Centre for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture, and the Sudan Organization Against Torture (SOAT).
