Hello, this is Andrew Peach. Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service. In BBC OS

conversations, we bring together people to share their experiences. And this time we hear from

Sudan and families living through civil war.

The conflict in Sudan broke out in April 2023 after a vicious struggle for power between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF.

Few people in the country have been left untouched by the catastrophe that since unfolded.

Tens of thousands of people have been killed in the violence. At least 12 million have been

displaced and there have been accusations of genocide. Through our conversations, we'll try to

give you a sense of the impact of the war on people living in Sudan.

They share stories you might find upsetting.

Later, we'll also hear from representatives of aid agencies,

struggling to reach those most in need in a conflict that many feel the world has ignored.

27 months after the civil war began, Sudan is split into rival areas of control.

The Sudanese army holds the north and east of the country, including the capital Khartoum,

which it recaptured earlier this year.

The front lines between the army and the RSF are in the south and the western Darfur region.

We'll hear first from Elfasha in North Darfur, where some of the most intense fighting has been taking place.

The RSF captured the nearby Zam-Zam displaced persons camp earlier this year.

It's since tightened its siege of Elfashire.

Few can get out, and aid can't get in.

Here are some of the messages we receive from people in the city.

We have arrived from Zamzam. The rapid support forces expelled us.

My name is Yahya Osman Muhammad Suleiman.
