Sudan's cholera outbreak case-fatality rate will not fall below 10% before the end of the rainy season, absent a negotiated humanitarian pause allowing aid access into besieged areas like el-Obeid.
The wording, the opening probability, and the counter-signal below were fixed when this call was published. Updates revise the reading — never the record: the verdict is graded against the opening call.
The trajectory
The record since
The call stands as issued — no revisions.
What would overturn it
A published WHO/UN update showing the case-fatality rate has dropped below 10%, or a negotiated aid corridor into el-Obeid, would overturn this; continued army-RSF fighting blocking access would confirm it.
The verdict
Open Resolves by 30 Sep 26 — graded at the weekly Reckoning against the criteria above, and recorded here.
As logged at issue
Sudan: cholera's case-fatality rate will likely keep climbing through the rainy season without a negotiated pause allowing aid into besieged el-Obeid — an agreed humanitarian corridor would be the signal this call is wrong.
