Azhaar’s grandparents, Abdalla Sholgami and Alaweya Reshwan, got stuck in the heat of the fighting. They lived in the neighbourhood of Al Riyadh, next to the military headquarters. It became a battlefield for the two warring parties – Sudan’s army, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Local volunteers who try to assist people in distress consider it a “red zone”.
