Port Sudan: A Haven for Those Fleeing Violence in Sudan
TL;DR Summary
As fighting broke out between the Sudanese army and its rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum, many have fled to Port Sudan, hoping to escape the conflict-struck country. Syrian refugees, including Mohamed, are making money by offering services such as haircuts or selling cigarettes. Despite the option to be evacuated out of the country by boat, Mohamed doesn’t want to leave Sudan and hopes to return to Khartoum or open an air conditioning shop in Port Sudan. A weeklong ceasefire has been agreed upon by the warring sides to ease the deadly conflict that has killed some 550 people, injured another 4,926, and displaced some 330,000.
