Grounded in the assumption that the “everyday” is the central site where the micro-dynamics of every society manifest, this article examines the microdynamics of the April 2023 war by using the everyday life of Sudanese civilians in Khartoum as its observational site. Drawing on data collected through patchwork ethnography, it offers militarization as a conceptual framework for situating these micro-dynamics within Sudan’s (post)colonial history. It argues that the current war in Sudan represents not a moment of rupture but rather a manifestation and amplification of a long process of militarization of the Sudanese state and society. Perceived as such, the ongoing war intensifies the effects of militarization in Sudan, thereby restructuring the subjectivity of Sudanese civilians along a continuum of producing, internalizing, and resisting fragility.
