Sudan’s civil war has been raging for over two years and has left tens of thousands dead. The fighting erupted on the streets of Khartoum in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the country's military, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which former Sudanese leader Omar Bashir created to quell anti-Arab insurgents in the Darfur region some 25 years earlier. The city, formerly home to 7 million people, fell under RSF control for two brutal years. The photographer visited the shell-shocked capital in April 2025, two weeks after the last RSF militants were finally driven out.
