In that ramadan, Ramadan is a great month for every Muslim in every part of the world in which their relatives pray and forget about all the problems that have happened between them, where they get closer to Allah by fasting, praising and feeding the poor and the poor, you find in Sudan another taste of Ramadan for every country.
where the hearts of Sudanese families expanded with love, everyone was preparing to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. The smell of baked goods filled the air, and bakeries were crowded with people eager to share their treats with their neighbors. This was life in Sudan before April 14th, when Sudan’s armed forces engaged in fighting with the Rapid Support Forces, I will tell you about the Rapid Support Forces, which are armed with all kinds of military equipment and were established during the era of the former Salvation Government, a force made up of some tribes under the leadership of Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, who controls the gold mines in Sudan.
From April 14th to July 14th, some citizens believed that the war would end within a week or two, but it lasted longer than expected. Within these three months, displacement began in some areas, and scenes of children and women walking for miles or kilometers with tears in their eyes became common. The number of internally displaced people during this period reached around half a million Sudanese.
The situation worsened from July 14th to September 14th as the Rapid Support Forces intensified their attacks on civilians. They broke into prisons and committed acts of looting and forced displacement under false pretenses. There were reports of ethnic violence and sexual assaults on women and children being recruited into armed groups.
The number of displaced people reached approximately 5 million during this time According to the world migration organization:
From September 14th until today, January 28th, we’ve endured the worst days of war. Finding shelter has become one of the most difficult things to do; even those with weak spirits are trading it for exorbitant prices. The displaced people living in schools suffer through harsh winter conditions without proper blankets or facilities for basic needs. Internet services have been cut off completely, leaving everyone in darkness due to power outages and water shortages.
Hospitals have stopped functioning Except for one hospital, the AL-noumderman hospital, which did not stop despite the projectiles falling on it.
except for one where volunteers work tirelessly to treat the wounded. The shortage of medicine and even blood donation bags further complicated things. This war has affected everyone regardless of wealth or religion.
Except for one hospital, the AL-noumderman hospital, which did not stop despite the projectiles falling it :
This war has devastated my country completely – no place of worship, no schools or universities remain intact;Sudan has been made a hotbed of death, the west of Darfur is still bleeding, the Khartoum authority and the island have been destroyed, his homes have been destroyed, symptoms of a ladder from the militia have not been spared from mental illnesses and fear, every Sudanese needs a psychiatrist
everything is destroyed.
We remain steadfast despite this bitter reality: bodies have been emaciated, children have been orphaned, and we have lost big and small.
I’ll tell you a little about what I’ve lived :
At first I expected the war to end in a day or two, but it happened otherwise; escaping bullets and hiding from mindless blogging every day I open social networking sites, I discovered the news of the death of a friend of mine, I lost almost twenty friends in this war; one dies by a stray bullet and another dies defending a vulnerable so as not to be violated by the militia.
I suffer from weight loss and loneliness every day, all my neighbors in the neighborhood were displaced, sometimes I became myself and I was suffering from a psychological disorder.
Today, all people eat one meal, which is not nutritious, but we thank God for this grace, some do not find it.
Electricity and water have become like gold, it is a great struggle to get them; there is a complete lack of internet, and if you want to get it, go about three kilometers or more to make my bank transactions to get some money.
Ramadan came and came with good, despite the difficult conditions, we still remain that I break the fast in Ramadan with hot water because of the lack of electricity, my family suffered from insomnia due to difficulty sleeping insects and mosquitoes, but I will not give up, I know that this severity will go away.
eating from restaurants has become a dream, the internet has become a dream, life has become routine and boring wake up to stand in relief and supply lines.
I will tell you a painful scene: children and women wake up early in the morning at the height of the cold to get two rooms of lentils or legumes to cover and one grain and to carry them the next day
This is some stories :
From another point of view, the solidarity of these people still continues, so you find seven families eating in one pot, sharing food, dreaming that this country will rise; this war is just a plague when you ask the little and the big to answer you:-
My country and my dear friends and family came to me, and they supported me as a person.
This is us.. This is sudan.
We have become from a country that shelters and helps others to exile and a state of war, everyone has closed the gates towards us, my homeland, which birds flee and take shelter of.
We need all the assistance, food and supplies, we need all the material and moral support, we need medicines and medical equipment; I wish all countries to open and facilitate travel and entry procedures for the Sudanese; we are the category of students whose years of study are wasted, I hope to allocate grants to us to complete our education, I call on everyone to intervene to stop the war waged against us by mercenaries.
Although we have forgotten our ongoing war, I do not forget the war of our brothers in Gaza.I hope that everyone who possesses some humanity will put an end to these massacres.
I also do not forget to thank the UN efforts and all those who stand with us and support us in this ordeal and I hope to increase the pressure to stop the war and I hope to support the organizations working in the field of mental health, we are in great need of it.
I hope that the international community will put pressure on both sides of the conflict to stop this war and extend a hand to peace and peaceful coexistence, and I also hope that it will not stop the necessary subsidies either for my country or for the people of Gaza, which is also bleeding.
