  14. 'It's an incredibly dire situation'published at 12:47 British Summer Time 24 April 2023

    Yassmin Abdel-Magied

    A Sudanese-born broadcaster has told the BBC the situation in Sudan is "incredibly dire" and "terrifying".

    Speaking from Cairo, Egypt, Yassmin Abdel-Magied said some members of her family had made it safely to Port Sudan in the south-east of the country, but there were other family members whom she had not heard from for at least 24 hours.

    She said they had gone extended periods without food and water, but did not want to leave and attempt an escape.

    "Different generations have different opinions," she said, with the younger people wanting to go and the older people wanting to stay.

    The most heart-breaking part, she says, is that no-one knows when the fighting will end; however, the violence is not entirely surprising because tensions "had been boiling" for a while between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces who are currently fighting, she added.

    There are no reports of loud sounds of gunfire as it has been the case for the last week

    It's hard to get a full and clear picture of what's going on in Sudan, because communications have been disrupted by the fighting.

    But reports suggest things are relatively calm in the capital Khartoum today, as foreign countries have been rushing to evacuate their nationals.

    We're not hearing reports of the same level of loud and intense gunfire that took place last week.

    Internet connections remain largely disrupted across Sudan, with the power struggle well into its second week, the UK-based internet monitoring group NetBlocks reports.

    According to the latest figures, more than 420 people have been killed and thousands wounded since fighting broke out on 15 April - though the actual figure may be higher.

    The Sudan Animal Rescue Centre said it was without electricity to power safety fences

    The ongoing clashes between the Sudan's army and the paramilitary forces are endangering the fate of 25 lions and other animals in a wildlife reserve near the capital, Khartoum.

    The Sudan Animal Rescue Centre said it was without electricity to power safety fences around enclosures and running low on food for the lions, which each require five to 10kg of meat a day.

    In a statement, external, the facility warned that the situation at the sanctuary had become “critical”.

    It said it no longer had a permanent staff presence at the sanctuary, located south-east of Khartoum near a military base that has been rocked by “deadly clashes on a daily basis”.

    One of its vehicles had been stolen, it said.

    “We are under tremendous pressure due to the current power outage, and our stocks of food and drinks are beginning to run out,” it said

    “We therefore appeal to all officials and those with the ability to help with the need to intervene … as soon as possible,” it added.

    The reserve houses 25 lions and various other animals including gazelles, camels, monkeys, hyenas and birds.
