This report provides an overview of conflict-related social media content in Sudan during the month of October. It focuses on narratives of hate speech, incitement to violence, and expressions of solidarity across different geographies. It highlights how these narratives evolve online and reflect the country’s broader conflict dynamics. The analysis draws on content from Facebook, X, and TikTok. The data collection combines account-based and keyword-based tracking, focusing on public posts that engage with conflict-related discourse. Content is classified to identify hate speech, incitement to violence, solidarity expressions, actor affiliations (e.g., SAF, RSF, or unaffiliated), as well as references to specific regions and communities.
All our analysis follows a do-no-harm approach and includes only public content. The report is written and disseminated by Build Up, based on participatory analysis work with a group of Sudanese researchers. All data is collected and processed using the Phoenix social media listening platform, and can be made available for Sudanese and international researchers who are working towards peace in Sudan.
