Public Safety Software for Sudan

Security Context — SAF, RSF & the 2023 Crisis

Since April 2023, Sudan has experienced armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with fighting in Khartoum, West Darfur, Kordofan, and other regions. The conflict has generated over 10 million IDPs and millions of refugees in neighboring countries, making Sudan the world's largest displacement crisis in 2024. Port Sudan has emerged as the de facto capital and seat of the transitional government.

KabatOne is positioned as a post-conflict public safety reconstruction platform: modular, scalable, and compatible with OCHA/UNHCR/WFP humanitarian coordination standards, with rapid deployment capacity in liberated cities and stabilisation zones.

Humanitarian Coordination — 10+ Million IDPs & Aid Corridors

OCHA coordinates humanitarian response in Sudan with over 80 international organizations (UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF, MSF, ICRC). Main humanitarian corridors include: Port Sudan-Khartoum (Highway 1), Port Sudan-Kassala-Gedaref (eastern corridor), Adre-El Fasher (Chad/Darfur corridor), Renk-Malakal (South Sudan corridor), and Qustul/Aswan crossings (Egypt).

KabatOne integrates OCHA/UNHCR/WFP humanitarian feeds for management of 10+ million IDPs, real-time aid corridor monitoring, medical emergency evacuation coordination, and displaced persons camp management in Port Sudan/Kassala/Gedaref/Nyala zones.

Critical Infrastructure — Nile, Oil & Port Sudan

Merowe Dam (1,250 MW) on the Nile is Sub-Saharan Africa's largest hydroelectric plant. Roseires (280 MW), Sennar, Khashm El Girba, and Jebel Aulia dams complement the national power grid managed by SEDC/NEC. The oil export pipeline from South Sudan fields (Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company, GNPOC) runs 1,610 km from Unity/Heglig to Bashayer Terminal at Port Sudan.

Port Sudan Port (Red Sea) is Sudan's only seaport and the region's trade gateway. Port Sudan International Airport (PZU) has replaced Khartoum International Airport (KRT) as the main air entry point during the conflict. KabatOne monitors all this critical infrastructure with unified asset management and security alerts.

Border Management — 7 Neighboring Countries & Red Sea Corridor

Sudan shares borders with 7 countries: Egypt to the north (Qustul/Aswan, refugee corridor), Libya to the northwest (porous Saharan border), Chad to the west (Adre/Abeche, Darfur humanitarian corridor), CAR to the southwest, South Sudan to the south (Renk/Juba oil corridor), Ethiopia to the southeast (Metema/Gallabat), and Eritrea to the east (Kassala/Tessenei). The Red Sea coast (700 km) includes Port Sudan, Suakin, and Halayeb.

KabatOne integrates monitoring of all 7 border corridors with UNHCR refugee flow management, AU/IGAD arms trafficking alerts, South Sudan/Port Sudan oil export corridor tracking, and Red Sea maritime surveillance system in coordination with the Sudanese navy.

Post-Conflict Reconstruction & Institutional Normalisation

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), African Union (AU), Arab League, and international community lead mediation and reconstruction efforts for Sudan. Financing frameworks include World Bank/AfDB for infrastructure and reconstruction, USAID/DFID for stabilisation, and the OCHA/Cluster System humanitarian coordination platform.

KabatOne is structured for rapid deployment under World Bank/UN emergency procurement frameworks, compatible with OCHA/UNDP coordination systems, and designed to scale from emergency humanitarian operations to civilian public safety platforms as institutional normalisation advances.
