Ayin Network

The Ayin Network is a collective of Sudanese journalists working under pseudonyms founded in 2013. Ayin Network highlights and reports issues and topics repressed by Sudan’s mainstream media.[1]

History

Founded in 2013, Ayin Network started in the Nuba Mountains during Omar al-Bashir’s government where freedom of press was restricted. Ayin is 'eye' in Arabic and 'to look' in Sudanese dialect.[2]

In 2025, 75% of Ayin Network’s funding was cut after USAID's global funding cuts in 2025 in the Donald Trump administration.[1]
