Sudan

Sudan is in an active civil war. **Do not travel to Sudan under any circumstances.** Any "job offer" in Sudan is a danger indicator — there are no legitimate employment opportunities for Bangladeshi nationals in an active war zone.

THE CIVIL WAR:

Since April 15, 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a full-scale civil war between the **Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF)** and the **Rapid Support Forces (RSF)**. An estimated **150,000+ people have been killed** and over **12 million displaced** — making Sudan the world's largest displacement crisis. The RSF has been documented committing mass atrocities including systematic sexual violence, ethnic targeting in Darfur, and child soldier recruitment.

Fighting has affected all major cities including Khartoum, Omdurman, El Fasher, and Port Sudan. The SAF recaptured parts of Khartoum in May 2025, but security incidents continue — the US State Department issued a security alert about explosions at Khartoum International Airport as recently as May 2026.

BANGLADESH EMBASSY — CLOSED:

The BD Embassy in Khartoum was **attacked on April 22, 2023** — machine gun bullets struck the building during SAF-RSF fighting. Charge d'Affaires Tareq Ahmed and his family evacuated Khartoum on April 23, 2023. The embassy coordinated the evacuation of **approximately 680-1,062 Bangladeshi nationals** from Khartoum to Port Sudan, then via Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) to Dhaka.

The embassy has been **closed since April 2023**. Tareq Ahmed was reassigned — first as Director General at MOFA, then Ambassador to UAE in December 2024. **No replacement diplomat has been posted.** The khartoum.mofa.gov.bd website returns certificate errors — consistent with an unmaintained, closed mission.

Consular coverage for BD nationals in Sudan now routes through the **BD Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia** (~1,900km from Khartoum). The Jeddah mission assisted during the 2023 evacuation (~1,200km from Port Sudan).

SUDAN AS TRANSIT CORRIDOR TO LIBYA:

Sudan is a documented trans-Saharan transit corridor. Some Bangladeshi migrants travel through Sudan toward Libya as part of the Central Mediterranean trafficking pipeline. This transit route is extremely dangerous — armed groups control border crossings, and migrants face extortion, kidnapping, and death. See the Libya destination guide.

ECONOMIC CONTEXT:

Sudan has a GDP per capita of approximately **$989** (2024, nominal) — well below Bangladesh. The economy has been devastated by the civil war. The Sudanese Pound (SDG) has collapsed. Humanitarian agencies estimate that **25 million people** (over half the population) need humanitarian assistance.

US TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS: **Tier 3** (2025). Due to the civil war — mass atrocities, child soldier recruitment, conflict-related sexual violence. Not BD-specific.

US Travel Advisory: **Level 4 — Do Not Travel.** Embassy ordered departure.

Sudan's GDP per capita is approximately $989 (2024, nominal) — well below Bangladesh. The economy has been devastated by the civil war. The Sudanese Pound (SDG) has collapsed. Since Sudan is an active war zone with no legitimate employment pathway, salary information is not applicable.

There is no Bangladeshi community in Sudan. Approximately 680-1,062 Bangladeshi nationals were evacuated from Sudan in May 2023 after the civil war began, routed through Port Sudan to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and then to Dhaka. The evacuation was coordinated by the BD Embassy Khartoum before its closure.

The BD Embassy in Khartoum is **closed** since April 2023. The Charge d'Affaires (Tareq Ahmed) was attacked, evacuated, and reassigned. No replacement has been posted. Emergency consular coverage routes through BD Embassy Addis Ababa (addisababa.mofa.gov.bd).

No BD national should be in Sudan under current conditions. The country is in an active civil war with Level 4 advisories from all major governments.
