Hey everyone,
I’m not sure if you’ve been following the discussions over the past two weeks, but I recently completed a challenge called "14 Days, 14 Datasets." The challenge is now over, but it resulted in several high-quality datasets covering highly relevant topics.
The final topic is very personal to me: my home country, Sudan. As many of you may not know, Sudan has been experiencing conflict since the '90s, though it was previously concentrated in the Darfur region rather than the capital, Khartoum. Since 2019, Sudan has faced widespread demonstrations and government crackdowns that deeply affected Khartoum. Then, in 2023, a full-scale war broke out in the capital.
This conflict began as an attempt by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to seize authority from the National Army. Backed by the UAE which has funded the militia to gain control over Sudan’s gold resources—this war has cost civilians everything: their homes, their cars, their life savings, and their lives.
Because of this, I decided to curate a high-quality dataset to provide information on the reality of what is happening in my country.

The dataset is fully documented, and the description provides extensive context. I hope you take a look, and please keep Sudan in your prayers.
Thank you all!
