“War at Home” documentary - one year of crisis in Sudan
“There’s a dark sense of déjà vu here,” says Yousra Elbagir, Africa correspondent for Sky News. “Images I remember seeing from the Darfur genocide in the early 2000s, unfolding again. And the silence is worse than the yells of shock we expect.”
Sudan has been trapped in a doom loop of silence since a brutal civil war began one year ago. Western media especially has looked away following embassy evacuations from Khartoum in the early weeks of the conflict. Most eyes today are locked on Gaza/Israel and Ukraine. Few people have noticed that the catastrophe unfolding in Sudan now eclipses both of these conflicts, combined.
A minimal amount of important and moving reporting can break through the silence from time to time. This recent documentary by Yousra Elbagir with Sky News reflects on the conflict, which has hit close to home for her.
