Despite the ongoing civil war and a humanitarian crisis, Sudan's football team, the Falcons of Jediane, qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, providing hope to their compatriots.
Abobakar Eisa, forward for the Falcons of Jediane, expressed that playing for Sudan goes beyond personal achievement; it's about lifting the spirits of their families and the entire country during these challenging times.
Eisa reflects on the conflict's toll, stating, 'My family had to migrate to Egypt because you could walk out in the street and there'd be gunshots,' illustrating the dire situation in Sudan.
The ongoing conflict has forced over 11 million people from their homes, contributing to what aid workers describe as the world's worst humanitarian crisis, leading to significant casualties.
