The Survivors

In Mandela, one of Khartoum's most deprived slums populated by Southern Sudanese:

1. Moses Taban and his wife Deborah fled, saying "In southern Sudan there is freedom. Even though you don't have a good job, you have your own land which is your own, it is not temporary. But we now live in Khartoum temporarily."
2. Deborah wants to escape the insults commonly thrown at the black community, especially the word "Abid" (slave)
3. Families pack removal trucks after years of discrimination and fear

In Malakal, residents describe the terror:

1. "People lie under the beds when you hear the sounds of the heavy artilleries. Nobody moves on the road, even in the house. You just lie down under the beds, you are shaking when you're shivering."
2. "Death can come at any time. Some people died even in front of my house. They laid there for two or 3 days, nobody to touch them. You cannot walk, you just stay in your place until the dead bodies are collected."

The Displaced

1. 26,000 civilians fled El Fasher when it fell
2. Hundreds of thousands trapped without escape routes
3. Refugee camps in Chad facing plague-like conditions from overcrowding
4. Families separated across multiple countries with no way to reunite
5. Children growing up in camps with no education, no future, only trauma

The Dead

1. Entire villages massacred
2. Bodies visible from space due to blood on the ground
3. Mass graves discovered but many more undiscovered
4. 2,000+ killed in just 2 days in some areas
5. Exact death toll unknown and likely never will be known
6. The UN official's haunting words: "We cannot hear the screams. But as we sit here today, the horror is continuing."

The Lost Generation

1. Entire generation missing vaccinations for preventable diseases
2. Schools closed for over two years
3. Young children who will never learn to read or write
4. Teenagers trained only in violence, knowing nothing else
5. Future doctors, teachers, engineers dead or displaced
6. A generation that will carry trauma for life

One bishop searching for his family for 13 days found them in the bush with little food and water, having spent 13 days hiding. The psychological scars of such experiences will last generations.
