Sudan has experienced a year of civil war. It鈥檚 been described by the United Nations as 鈥渙ne of the worst humanitarian nightmares in recent history鈥�. Over the past 12 months, we鈥檝e heard from people in Sudan living through the violence and destruction. More than 14,000 people have died and more than 8 million people have been driven from their homes .

In this edition, with Luke Jones and James Reynolds, we hear from Omnia, a recent college graduate, whose been separated from her family for a year. Her life stopped when the fighting began: 鈥淚 have experienced displacement four times. I have experienced living in a war zone under bombings and shellings and mass shootings. Life has changed completely from what it was. But I would also say it鈥檚 a year of resilience and strength that I did not know I had in me.鈥�

Another of our guests is Samreen. She is an aid worker in Sudan, herself displaced by the war. She describes how overwhelmed she can be by requests for help: 鈥滽nowing that you鈥檙e an aid worker, they ask you for stuff, they ask you to flee the country, they ask you to get to other safer locations, they ask you to help them in asylum seeking and there鈥檚 so little that we can do.鈥�
