About

Who we are

The Sudanese Archive is a project of Mnemonic, a global non-profit organization dedicated to assisting human rights advocates in effectively using digital information related to human rights violations and international crimes to support advocacy, justice, and accountability.

From 2019 to February 2023, Mnemonic partnered with GISA Group to set up the Sudanese Archive, aligning with Mnemonic's core mission of archiving, verifying, and analyzing digital information to expose human rights violations.

This project was only made possible by the effort of dozens of volunteers who worked tirelessly for years.

Team

Our team preserves, analyses, and memorialises documentation of human rights violations, conflict, and acts of resistance in Sudan. We do this by archiving and curating visual documentation in our database and on this website for news media, accountability processes, and transitional justice. We also provide training and support for other archival efforts in Sudan.

By preserving verifiable documentation within our archive and helping others do the same, we hope to support a difficult but important process of truth-telling and accountability for our communities in Sudan.

Priorities

  • Prevent atrocities by monitoring and archiving digital information and publishing open source investigations exposing human rights violations. 
  • Collaborate with organizations and entities to support advocacy efforts, aiming for accountability within the Sudanese context.
  • Support a network of decentralised community archives and transitional justice related activities across Sudan with training, knowledge and resources.
