Sudan conflict escalates, residents flee as ceasefire attempts fail.

Civilians in Khartoum are living in fear and desperation as the Sudanese military and a paramilitary group battle for control of the city, with no electricity, water, or medicine. The violence broke out on Saturday, despite promises of a civilian government after a 2021 coup. Civilians have been shot in the streets, and families are separated with no certainty of reuniting with their loved ones. Sudanese pro-democracy activists continue to resist, but their dreams have been repeatedly hijacked by military forces.
