Christian Families Separated, Struggling

Roughly 12 million Sudanese have fled as a result of the civil war between two Islamist generals that has engulfed the country since April 2023. The displaced people include around 750,000 from predominately Christian tribes who have made a harrowing journey to reach the Nuba Mountains, an autonomous region in the south of the country. But the travel and ongoing fighting have separated families. “When the war broke out, we have many people, even my own daughter, that have been caught on [the other] side of Khartoum,” said Pastor Morris, a longtime church leader located in the Nuba Mountains. “We do not have any communication with her, and we don’t know what she is doing. We don’t have any idea.” Many who reached the relative safety of the Nuba Mountains struggle to survive due to lack of food and basic necessities. They hope the rainy season will provide relief and lead to a good harvest.
