The following is a timeline of the Sudanese civil war (2023–present) in 2025.

The Joint Darfur Force (JDF) said it had killed 462 Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters including six commanders in a failed attack on Al-Malha, North Darfur. In addition, three vehicles were destroyed. The remaining unit under Ali Rizqallah Al-Safana retreated. The JDF also called on the RSF to surrender to the JDF or the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).[1]
2 January
The SAF claimed that RSF brigadier general Ibrahim Delib was killed along with 32 RSF fighters, including a Mauritanian national, after a drone being launched by the group misfired in El Fasher.[2]
4 January
Two people were killed by RSF shelling on the Saudi Hospital in El Fasher.[3] Four others were killed by RSF shelling in Omdurman.[4]

Ten people were killed in an SAF airstrike in Khartoum.[5]
The SAF and the JDF claimed to have deflected an RSF assault on El Fasher that came from the east and southeast of the city. The JDF also intercepted a weapons convoy for the RSF, arresting both Sudanese and Libyan nationals.[6]
