Our reports, research and publications document human rights violations affecting Sudanese communities and provide evidence‑based analysis to support advocacy, accountability, and public awareness. We publish according to available resources and in response to urgent developments, while working toward more structured and regular reporting.
Through rigorous research and publications, we identify trends, document structural inequalities, and highlight the lived experiences of affected communities. This work strengthens advocacy, informs policy recommendations, and supports accountability efforts at national and international levels.
In the context of Sudan, research is especially critical due to limited access, restricted civic space, and the complexity of the ongoing conflict. Reliable research ensures that the realities on the ground are accurately represented and that the voices of marginalized communities are not lost.

How We Conduct Research
Our research and publication approach is grounded in accuracy, independence, and methodological rigor. We combine qualitative and quantitative methods to build a comprehensive understanding of human rights conditions. This includes reviewing existing reports, analyzing verified data, conducting interviews, and collaborating with trusted networks inside Sudan and across the diaspora. We prioritize evidence‑based analysis, cross‑checking information, and using secure tools to protect sensitive data. Our outputs aim to be accessible, credible, and actionable-supporting advocacy, informing decision‑makers, and contributing to long‑term documentation and justice efforts.
Building Our Research Capacity
While we have established strong foundations in research, documentation, and publications, expanding our research capacity remains a key organizational priority. We are working to develop more structured research frameworks, deepen our analytical tools, and strengthen our ability to produce thematic studies, trend analyses, and long‑form reports.
As part of our long‑term vision, we aim to build training pathways that equip community members, volunteers, and partner organizations with the skills needed to conduct safe, ethical, and methodologically sound human rights research. Strengthening these capacities will help build a more coordinated and resilient research ecosystem for Sudan.
Types of Research We Conduct
Our research covers a wide spectrum of human rights issues affecting communities in Sudan. This includes thematic studies, trend analyses, legal and policy reviews, community‑based assessments, and documentation of structural inequalities. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, we produce research that captures both the lived experiences of individuals and the broader patterns shaping the human rights landscape.
Our Research Principles
Our research and publications are guided by principles of accuracy, independence, and ethical responsibility. We prioritize verified information, transparent methodologies, and the protection of sources.
Every study we produce is grounded in rigorous analysis and aligned with international human rights standards, ensuring that our findings are credible, responsible, and trustworthy.
Our Commitment to Evidence‑Based Work
We are committed to building a research environment where decisions, recommendations, and advocacy strategies are grounded in reliable data and sound analysis. As we expand our research capacity, we continue to refine our tools, strengthen our networks, and invest in developing a comprehensive, evidence‑based understanding of human rights conditions in Sudan.
Our long‑term vision includes developing training pathways that equip community members, volunteers, and partner organizations with the skills needed to conduct safe, ethical, and methodologically sound human rights research – helping build a more coordinated and resilient research ecosystem for Sudan.
Arbitrary Arrests and Forced Deportation of Sudanese Refugees in Egypt
This report offers an in‑depth examination of the patterns of arbitrary detention, ill‑treatment, and forced deportation of Sudanese refugees from Egypt. It draws on quantitative and qualitative evidence, including 79 documented cases and a large number of additional interviews -exceeding 50 so far- alongside legal assessments and cross‑border documentation conducted in collaboration with trusted partners in Norway, Egypt, Uganda, and Sudan. Scheduled for launch on 20 June 2026.
Past Reports & Publications
Uprising Victims Report – September 2013
This foundational report documented the killings and injuries that occurred during the September 2013 protests in Sudan. It was produced in collaboration with the Sudanese Journalists Network in Egypt and activists in Sweden.
The report was later recognized as a reference document by the UK House of Commons, marking an important milestone in our early documentation efforts.
Transitional Justice Study (2019 – Present)
We developed an in‑depth study on transitional justice in Sudan, which was formally submitted to the Ministry of Justice during the transitional government. The study was well‑received and contributed to early discussions on legal and institutional reform.
We continue to update and refine this work to reflect the evolving realities on the ground, ensuring that it remains relevant and ready for broader consultation once conditions allow for meaningful dialogue after the war.
Electoral Guide for the Norwegian Parliament (2025)
As part of our commitment to civic engagement within the Sudanese and Arabic‑speaking diaspora, we produced an Arabic‑language electoral guide for the Norwegian parliamentary elections.
The guide explained the differences between political parties, outlined their positions, and provided a step‑by‑step explanation of the voting process. It served as an accessible tool to encourage participation and informed decision‑making among Arabic‑speaking voters.
Documentation Notes and Brief Reports – (2014 – Present)
Over the years, we have published several short reports and documentation briefs addressing a range of human rights violations across Sudan. These publications were produced in response to urgent developments and within the limits of our available resources. They cover issues such as:
– Excessive use of force against civilians.
– Arbitrary arrests and incommunicado detention.
– Attacks on vulnerable groups.
– Restrictions on freedoms of expression, assembly, and movement.
– Humanitarian access challenges and conflict‑related abuses.
These publications form an important part of our long‑term documentation record and contribute to broader advocacy and accountability efforts.
Upcoming Publications
We are expanding our research and publication work to address emerging human rights challenges affecting Sudanese communities. Our upcoming publications will include thematic reports, legal and policy briefs, community‑based assessments, and updated analyses of ongoing violations. We will also produce concise situation reports, verified case-based documentation, and cross‑border protection reports.
Our work will focus on priority areas inside Sudan -including Khartoum, Darfur, Kordofan, and the Eastern region- as well as key migration and displacement routes in Egypt, Libya, Chad, South Sudan, and Uganda. These publications will be released as resources allow and in response to urgent developments on the ground.
