Hello and welcome to Newsower from the BBC World Service coming to you live from

I'm Azaday Mashiri. We start with what some call the forgotten war.

Sudan has been gripped by a violent struggle for power for more than a year

between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary rapid support forces.

Addressing the UN General Assembly, the Army Commander

Admiral Abdel Fata al-Buhan accused some countries in the region of

supporting the RSF.

Sudan is facing very serious challenges. There is a conspiracy, a war that has been

waged by a group that has rebelled against the state for many years, receiving political and logistical support at a local and regional levels.

You've all witnessed the crimes and violations and atrocities committed by these rebels targeting the Sudanese people and the

Sudanese state.

The BBC has been on a rare trip to Omdormand part of Sudan's capital and one of the

battlefields of the civil war. Civilians are suffering from regular shelling and

women living in our self-held areas have shared devastating accounts of rape and sexual violence with

our correspondent Barbara Plattasha.

I'm on the outskirts of Amderman at a transit point for people who are coming out of

RSF-held territory into an area that is controlled by the army. Some of them are

walking, some of them are coming on donkey carts, some of them are fleeing

permanently to a safer area, others are crossing the line so that they can go to a market

and buy goods more cheaply and then go back to their homes and we have been hearing horrific stories about

what life is like under the RSF.

So what was it like coming here?
