Africa Daily - Podcast autorstwa BBC World Service
War has raged across the whole of Sudan between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Force or RSF for the past 15 months. Human rights abuses and atrocities have been committed on both sides – in Darfur, groups like Human Rights Watch have documented what they say is ethnic cleansing by the RSF as they’ve specifically targeted people of African descent. Millions have fled from the region. El Fasher is the only major city in Darfur that remains outside of RSF control. Mohammed Zakaria is a film maker and photographer who lived in El Fasher. Most of his family fled to neighbouring Chad early in the war but he stayed behind to document what was happening in the city. He finally decided to leave and has just made it out to safety to Uganda. In today’s Africa Daily he speaks to Alan Kasujja about living and escaping El Fasher.
