Bikes and bakeries are back: War-torn Khartoum struggles to rebuild
Briefly

Khartoum is showing early signs of revival after months of conflict between the Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces that turned the city into a battlefield. As children play and businesses slowly reopen, the city confronts the deep scars left by war. Once a vibrant metropolis, Khartoum is now a shadow of its former self with shattered storefronts, burnt vehicles, and academic ruins. Despite the army's recapture of the city, the humanitarian crisis remains severe, leaving much of the population in distress amidst the ongoing recovery efforts.
In Khartoum, street after street lies in ruins, lined with skeletal apartment blocks and broken storefronts, presenting a haunting image of destruction and loss as the city confronts its shattered identity.
Children are playing again on the streets of Khartoum, riding bikes through eerie streets, marking early signs of revival in a city that has endured such devastating turmoil.
