Sudanese Forced to Flee to Chad Amid Intensifying Conflict.

Residents of Khartoum, Sudan are faced with the difficult decision of whether to flee the city or stay amidst the ongoing armed conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The violence has triggered a mass exodus, with many heading east to Port Sudan or north to Egypt, but the ambivalent security situation and lack of transportation options have made coordinating an escape difficult. Some families are being separated as loved ones elect to stay behind while others leave. The conflict has transformed Khartoum from a bustling city to a ghost town, with acute shortages of food, electricity, and water.
