Al 'Aylafun (Arabic: العليفون), or Al-Ailafoon or Al-Ailfoun, is a suburb district located 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of Khartoum, Sudan.

Due to its proximity to Soba, the region was called Ail Al-Fung, where 'Ail’ in the Funj language means 'slaves’.

It has enjoyed education and religious tendencies for quite some time, and was famous for its Khalawi for Quran memorisation centres.

The government claimed 55 conscripts drowned, but opposition groups reported a higher death toll.

The discovery is part of an investigation into the atrocities committed under the regime of ousted president Omar al-Bashir.

[6] On 6 October 2023, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took control of Al 'Aylafun, leading to the displacement of thousands of residents.
