Family of 12 Escapes Sudan with Gold for Safe Passage

A family of 12, including seven children and elderly parents, escaped from Sudan to Egypt amid violence and conflict. They faced numerous challenges, including finding a safe mode of transportation, dealing with traders who exploited women, and enduring unsanitary conditions and scarce resources at the border. Women took on the role of negotiating passage and means of survival in the absence of men. The family eventually made it to Egypt and settled in, but the author dreams of returning to Sudan.
