they pray for the end of the war and hope to return to omdurman.d them what remains of their former church. some of the coptic church's congregants, including sara, blame the government army, not the rapid support forces for their displacement. they say the government either bombed civilians directly or targeted the rsf, who had taken refuge in their church and surrounding area. a large portion of the sudanese coptic church congregation left for egypt, and many who remain are waiting for entry visas tojoin them. they are fleeing a country being destroyed by its own people, a country where the death and starvation of friends and loved ones has become the norm. but allegations that the government has been reckless about this human cost are quickly denied. in response to the accusations of rape and other attacks on civilians, the rsf said sudanese military intelligence was... they added... there is no end in sight for sudan's bloody conflict. the deep divisions and wounds it has created may never truly heal. and in a war the world forgot, it is the mo

each evening, these displaced women in omdurman gather to bake sorghum bread, much cheaper than wheate next morning, eager lines down the block to collect rations of bread, lentils, rice and broad beans; all paid for by donations from locals and sudan's diaspora. this will be the only meal many of these families eat today. if nothing is done, by fall millions of people will be starving to death. qadarif's rolling green hills and idyllic pastoral scenes belie the growing threat. this region is sudan's bread basket. but the rsf has already captured the neighbouring agricultural states. home to sudan's largest grain reserve stockpiling thousands of tons of food, qadarif's farmers are terrified that they're next. >> yes, people are talking, saying that the rsf are coming. they even tell me not to plant, asking why are you planting. the rsf will take all the crops, they won't leave anything, and the people will starve and die. leila: rsf forces are closing in on qadarif in a pincer movement. an rsf victory here would be nothing short of catastrophic for the country's dwindling food supply.
