Frequently Asked Questions
Khartoum and Omdurman remain at the epicenter of the RSF–SAF conflict, creating a highly volatile security environment. The combination of armed clashes, political instability, and targeted violence makes these urban centers among the most dangerous areas in Sudan. For international businesses, NGOs, and diplomatic missions, operating in these cities requires specialized risk consultancy that includes real-time intelligence monitoring, evacuation planning, and crisis management. Associated Risks supports clients with secure journey management, contingency planning, and local advisory teams who understand the fast-changing dynamics of Sudan’s capital region.
The Darfur region, particularly Nyala, El Fasher, and El Geneina, has been one of the most dangerous regions in Sudan for decades, marked by tribal conflict, militia violence, and humanitarian emergencies. Companies, aid agencies, and international organizations working here require specialized risk consultancy focused on high-risk humanitarian access, safe site management, and conflict-sensitive operations. Associated Risks provides risk advisory frameworks that enable organizations to maintain operational continuity, while ensuring compliance with international humanitarian law and security best practices in these highly unstable regions.
Sudan’s oil, gas, and energy infrastructure remains strategically important but is highly vulnerable to sabotage, looting, and regional conflict spillover. Operators in Kordofan, Upper Nile border regions, and pipeline corridors face armed group interference, corruption risks, and logistical challenges. Associated Risks delivers sector-specific risk advisory services including route security assessments, corruption and compliance analysis, and crisis response planning. This ensures that companies in the extractive industries can continue operations with a measured risk posture, safeguarding both assets and personnel under Sudan’s unstable conditions.
Humanitarian agencies face threats including kidnapping, supply chain disruption, access denial by armed groups, and reputational risks linked to corruption or local politics. Cities such as Kosti, Kassala, and Kadugli remain important humanitarian hubs but are prone to sudden insecurity, local tensions, and population displacement. Associated Risks provides risk advisory and consultancy services to NGOs that cover humanitarian access, convoy security, emergency evacuations, and due diligence on local partners. Our approach allows NGOs to deliver aid securely while maintaining adherence to international standards such as the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR).
With the closure and instability of Khartoum, Port Sudan has become the de facto operational hub for many embassies, aid agencies, and businesses. While relatively safer than Khartoum or Darfur, Port Sudan is still subject to political manipulation, black-market pressures, and infrastructure bottlenecks. Associated Risks provides risk consultancy services that include supply chain security, port logistics risk assessment, and contingency evacuation planning via sea or air. This ensures clients can use Port Sudan as a strategic fallback location while remaining prepared for any rapid changes in the security environment.
Companies working in Sudan must ensure strict compliance with international anti-corruption, human rights, and private security regulations. Associated Risks provides guidance on:
- UK Bribery Act & US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)
- UN Global Compact
- Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR)
- Montreux Document on Private Military and Security Companies
- International Code of Conduct for Private Security Providers (ICoCA)
By embedding these frameworks into our risk consultancy and advisory services, Associated Risks ensures that clients maintain legitimacy, accountability, and operational continuity in Sudan’s complex regulatory landscape.
Sudan is not only a short-term crisis zone but also a long-term recovery and reconstruction environment. International donors, infrastructure developers, mining companies, and NGOs will eventually play a crucial role in post-conflict stabilization. Associated Risks supports this transition by providing strategic risk advisory services focused on stakeholder mapping, political risk forecasting, infrastructure security, and sustainable operations planning. By anticipating future risks and embedding resilience into operations, our consultancy ensures clients can transition from short-term survival to long-term stability in Sudan.
