Listen "Fiction, Memory, and Sudan's "Khartoum Cats""
Episode Synopsis
Sudan's two-year-old conflict which started as a power struggle between two military Generals shows no sign of ending soon. Happening alongside the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, many consider Sudan's conflict a 'forgotten war.' But how is it a forgotten war when it's become the worst humanitarian situation in the world with millions displaced, thousands killed, and half of the population at risk of extreme hunger? Ensuring Sudanese voices aren't silenced by the conflict, award-winning Sudanese writer and medical student, Noor Salah Elfaki, is documenting the harsh realities of the day through her writing. Her short story, 'Khartoum Cats', captures the terrifying early days of the ongoing conflict.
