About us

Our mission

SUDAN TRUTH is an independent Sudanese online newspaper. We started because readers in Sudan and in the diaspora need news that arrives with its source attached: war, displacement and economic news circulates across platforms and pages with no checking at all, and the accurate story gets lost in the noise. So our first rule, from day one: no story without a source, and every item carries its own source box — the publishing body's name and date — so the reader can see where the news came from and judge for themselves.

Our sources

We follow a fixed order in what we carry, and we state it here so readers know how we choose: we start with the national wire (SUNA — Sudan News Agency) and official statements from state institutions in their fields (health, education, weather through the Sudan Meteorological Authority, and currency rates through the Central Bank of Sudan); then the global wires for breaking and field news (Reuters, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse); then established independent Sudanese outlets for the local story and state-level detail. And we do not publish a sensitive story — casualties, a major security incident, or an economic figure that moves people's lives — on a single source, however trusted it looks: two independent sources, or we wait.

Our methodology

We work by the tested rules of professional newsrooms: verify before publishing, not after; keep news and opinion apart with a clear badge; and if we get something wrong, correct it openly in the corrections log, inside the item itself, never by silent deletion. In drafting these rules we drew on well-known editorial guidance in the profession — among it the Trust Project's indicators and the Reuters Handbook — but our working test, every day, is what the reader can see in each item: a declared source, a declared publication time, and a documented correction if one is needed.
