Survival in Sudan: chaos and fight for freedom

Sudan, the land of ancient Nubia and the black pharaohs, holds more pyramids than Egypt—yet remains one of the world’s most isolated and unstable countries. Since independence in 1956, repeated coups and decades of dictatorship have shaped its history. After a brief democratic hope in 2019, a new military takeover in 2021 plunged the nation back into crisis. Today, protests erupt across the country, led by courageous women demanding freedom and justice despite violent repression. Meanwhile, a collapsing economy and extreme inflation are pushing millions to the brink, forcing many to seek survival in the desert in search of gold. A powerful look inside a nation caught between revolution, hardship, and hope.
