Heartbreaking:
On this podcast we hear stories from the people of Omdurman from the BBC’s Mohanad #Hashim . In May 2023 the RSF took military control of Omdurman. In Feb 2024 the army recaptured it, giving Mohanad the opportunity to return to his home city for the first time in three years with a BBC team. He tells of his response to finding his home and city in ruins – and of hearing tales of brutality and pain from family, friends and neighbours.
