DATA IS INFORMATION & INFO IS POWER.

You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data

In response to the use of airstrikes, Artrika has compiled a database through on the ground research and communication with victims. In total, 131 airstrikes have been documented from September 2023 to October 2024 in Darfur, killing at least 513 people and injuring at least 1,048. Artrika believes the real number of airstrikes to be much higher given telecommunications updates and lack of access in some areas.

Airstrike Update Map from 2023 to 2025 focusing in Darfur-Sudan

The spike in attacks from June 2024 represents the escalation in El Fasher and throughout North Darfur, with the decline in attacks caused by an increased focus of airstrikes in North Darfur and a cessation throughout the broader Darfur region. The low number of attacks in October 2024 is a result of ongoing documentation by Artrika throughout October, and does not yet represent the full scope of airstrikes. The majority of attacks took place in capital cities, with high spikes in cases reported in El Fasher and Nyala, South Darfur.

Artrika also locates its efforts around analysis of different sub-national conflicts throughout the country to give a greater sense of dynamics at play on local levels and their relationship to the central State, and the emergence of other parties to the conflict, such as localised militias. Artrika conducts regular monitoring of over fifty localised conflict scenarios spread across Sudan’s eighteen states. A key future output of Artrika will be its Sudan Conflict Monitor, which includes thematic research and data analysis to aid fellow Sudanese organisations, international non-governmental organisations, the media, and concerned policymakers. The document also serves as an early-warning mechanism to Sudanese civil society and humanitarian organisations to rapidly respond to emerging scenes of conflict and insecurity. toward violence

AIRSTRIKES IN DARFUR_SUDAN

Airstrikes have been a key feature of the conflict: the outbreak of the conflict on 15 April 2023 was marked by airstrikes and aerial bombardment and has been described as “blind attacks causing a large number of deaths and wounding amongst civilians and the destruction of private and public property”. Both sides have also utilised drones obtained from regional allies to drop hand grenades or mortar shells, and in the summer of 2024, the RSF expanded their drone capabilities and reached into SAF-controlled areas far from the frontlines. The UN Fact Finding Mission on Sudan found that both SAF and RSF failed to.  In response to the use of airstrikes, Artrika has compiled a database through on the ground research and communication with victims.

HOW DO WE WORK

We use research and oral history as tools for data collection and utilize data visualization to draw clear maps to trace the movement of the people and provide evidence and information about perpetrators. We are the first Sudanese Organization to use maps to tell stories about the conflict. We utilize NASA Agent for Space for raw map information from satellites and supplement them with our data and analysis to ensure that they are made useful to the people. This includes mapping the locations, demographic data, languages, art, culture, and SAF and RSF crimes committed. Our on-the-ground teams are able to gather this for a wide range of locations.

WHO WE ARE

Artrika Data Center is Non profit Organizations that aims to develop Database, is an online data storage project to preserve data and information of the people who were displaced from their homeland to IDP camps by the Sudanese government. The database uses research and oral history as tools for data collection

WHAT WE DO

We use research and oral history as tools for data collection. And draw clear maps to trace the movement of the people, and provide evidence and information about perpetrators NASA Agent for Space to Provide raw information from the satellite, and we analyzed it by coding Apps to be useful to the people . include locations, names of the Area Tribes, Language, Art, Culture, Populations RSF and SAf crime etc .. in addition we also have a team on the ground to investigate the data and for every single place.
