Sudan conflict: Grandmother died trapped by fighting in Khartoum

Azhaar’s grandparents, Abdalla Sholgami and Alaweya Reshwan, got stuck in the heat of the fighting. They lived in the neighbourhood of Al Riyadh, next to the military headquarters. It became a battlefield for the two warring parties – Sudan’s army, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Local volunteers who try to assist people in distress consider it a “red zone”.
