Sudan: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Sudan from space — geolocated events, the most active areas, and satellite imagery in one place. Free to browse on the Delta Watchfloor.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
You can monitor Sudan from space on Off-Nadir Delta — viewing Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, tracking any area over time with anomaly detection, and overlaying geolocated event signals (from global news media) and active fires. In the past 7 days, 31 event signals were recorded in and around Sudan, most in the kinetic category.

Most active areas
Event data powered by the GDELT Project. Figures cover the mapped region around Sudan and update hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.
Why Analysts Watch Sudan From Space
Sudan’s civil war has been documented substantially from orbit: fires and destruction in Khartoum and El Fasher, displacement flows visible as camp growth, and the interruption of Nile-valley agriculture. With journalists largely absent, satellite evidence anchors the record.
Typical monitoring angles
- Conflict-related fires and urban damage in Khartoum and Darfur
- Displacement-camp expansion at border crossing points
- Nile flood season and agricultural disruption in optical time series
Monitor Sudan From Space
Off-Nadir Delta lets you watch Sudan without any GIS software. View Sentinel-1 SAR (all-weather, day or night) and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, draw any area to build a time series with anomaly detection, and overlay active fires.
The Delta Watchfloor adds the event layer: geolocated signals in and around Sudan, ranked by severity, that you can connect to satellite imagery in one tip-and-cue workflow.
