Displaced Sudanese return home for Ramadan
Numerous displaced families return to observe Ramadan amid signs of life returning to normal
KHARTOUM, Sudan (MNTV) – After nearly two years of conflict, displaced Sudanese families are returning to Omdurman, west of Khartoum, to celebrate Ramadan.
The city, recently reclaimed from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), is showing signs of recovery, as reported by Africa News.
Yousef Abdul Qader, a local resident, noted that food prices were initially high, but with roads reopening and supply routes stabilizing, markets are returning to normal.
“Every day, more people come back home, and life is improving,” he said.
Charities are also stepping in to help. Gaith Abdul Qader, who runs a community kitchen, said that while Omdurman was nearly empty last year, now his team serves dozens of families daily.
However, many returnees, like Awad Zayed, found their homes severely damaged. Bullet holes, debris, and destruction remain from the heavy fighting that ravaged the region.
The conflict, which began in April 2023 between the Sudanese government’s armed forces and the RSF, has displaced millions and caused widespread casualties.
As Sudan’s military forces make gains against the RSF, the retaking of key government institutions marks a turning point in the war.
Despite the challenges, displaced families are finding hope in returning home for Ramadan, a symbol of resilience amid the ongoing crisis.
