The conflict in Sudan has lasted more than three months, leading to the tragic displacement of roughly 3.5 million people and the deaths of at least 3,900, according to conservative estimates. The rivalry between army chief Abdel Fattah alBurhan and his former deputy, RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, has brought the war to the streets of densely populated neighborhoods in Khartoum.
Due to an outbreak of war between Sudan’s rival generals, Mohannad and his family were forced to flee their home in Khartoum and travel 2,000 kilometers to Cairo, Egypt. However, upon arrival, they discovered landlords were exploiting the influx of refugees by raising rents. Mohannad’s landlady demanded he triple his rent to keep his apartment, and when he refused, she resorted to cutting off electricity and water.
On July 3, 2023, Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, was plunged into chaos as the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) clashed. The conflict, which began on April 15 of the same year, has left thousands dead and millions displaced.
