Journalists covering Sudan’s escalating civil war and humanitarian crisis are reporting a surge in threats and intimidation from opposing military factions, raising serious concerns over press freedom and safety in the conflict zone. Media workers say they are being targeted with harassment, arbitrary detentions, and direct warnings to stop reporting, creating a dangerous environment for independent journalism. The crackdown appears deliberate, aimed at suppressing coverage of the violence and its human toll, while also restricting access to critical information for the public and international observers. With communications infrastructure under strain and armed groups operating with impunity, the risks for reporters on the ground continue to grow.
