Between November 2024 and July 2025, DTM field teams recorded approximately 2,004,302 returnees across 1,611 locations in Aj Jazirah (48%), Khartoum (30%), Sennar (9%), Blue Nile (7%), White Nile (5%), River Nile (1%), and West Darfur (<1%).
The total number of reported returns increased by 50 per cent compared to Return Monitoring Snapshot (5), reflecting increased return movements and expanded data collection.
Approximately 77 per cent of individuals who returned moved back from locations within Sudan, while 23 per cent reportedly moved back from abroad.
An estimated 1,549,211 individuals returned from locations within Sudan. This represents approximately 13 percent of the highest-ever recorded IDP population in Sudan.
Note:
DTM Sudan defines a returnee as someone who was previously displaced from their habitual residence in Sudan due to an event dating from 2003 onwards, who has now voluntarily returned to their location of habitual residence, irrespective of whether they have returned to their formal residence or to another shelter type. Some IDPs who returned from locations of displacement may not have returned to their specific locations of origin and may remain displaced within their locality or state of origin.
