Somalis in Sudan Face Difficult Life Situation Amidst Ongoing Conflict

Khartoum, Sudan, SONNA)-: Somalis living in Sudan are facing a difficult life situation as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country.

The conflict, which has been going on for three days, has involved the use of various types of laser weapons and has affected people who are not born in Sudan, mostly students.

Thousands of Somali students are studying in Sudan, and some of them are facing difficult life situations. Some of the people who spoke to SONNA, the Somali national news agency, said that they have not had any water or electricity for three days and that they have not been able to leave their homes.

“Until this morning, we have been working to evacuate mostly female students who are trapped in areas of Khartoum where there has been intense fighting,” said one of the students who volunteered to help their brothers.

“There are still some students who are still trapped in some neighborhoods and we have not been able to go to them.”

Omdurman, which is part of the Trilateral Capital of Khartoum, is reported to have girls who have been trapped there and have not had a chance to come out.

There are two girls who have been isolated for 3 days. Rescuers say, “so far, they have not received any help. They are hiding in the basement under the stairs. Their condition is dangerous. Today, a military plane crashed near them.

“The situation is dire,” said one of the two girls, her voice trembling with emotion. “The bullets are firing heavily, nonstop. We request to be contacted as soon as possible and told when the rescuers are coming to us. Our phones are nearly about to die, and we haven’t had electricity for the past two days. Please help us.”

The war that started until now, we have tried to bring people from Bahri and Omdurman, but it has not been continued,” said one of the rescuers.

“The best solution is to get boys in Omdurman to pick up the girls and take the two girls to other girls in Omdurman.”The situation of the conflict is getting worse, and President Hassan Sheik Mohamud has suggested to both sides to negotiate and compromise.

“Our painful experience in Somalia is that conflicts are easy to start but prove very difficult to end,” President Mohamud said, urging his Sudanese counterparts to think twice before allowing the situation to deteriorate further.

He called on the heads of state to intervene urgently with all means and possibilities under their power.The Embassy of Somalia in Sudan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are working together to rescue people stranded in the country.

Sudan is one of the countries that has given scholarships to Somali students. Thousands of Somalis live and study there. Some got government scholarships while others are studying on their own
