Hundreds of displaced Sudanese gathered at Cairo's central train station to begin a free journey home funded by the Egyptian government. The ongoing civil war in Sudan has led to a humanitarian crisis, with over 40,000 deaths and millions displaced. The RSF controlled Khartoum until it was recaptured by the Sudanese Armed Forces in May 2023. The journey to Khartoum involves a 12-hour train ride to Aswan, followed by ferries and buses. Emotions ran high among travelers, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy about returning home. The conflict has created the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with millions affected by famine and instability since the removal of President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
