Fighting continues in Sudan, with the U.N. reporting over 420 deaths since April 15. The U.S. and other nations moved to quickly evacuate diplomats as the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces failed to adhere to announced ceasefires and fears mount of a full-blown civil war. In the western Darfur region, doctors say they are overwhelmed treating gun victims, including many children. In the capital Khartoum, many residents remain trapped with dwindling supplies of food, water and power as Sudan experienced a “near-total collapse” of internet and phone service Sunday. Many others decided to flee for other parts of the country.

Ahmed Mubarak: “When I fled, I left with the clothes on me, without money, as I kept them at home. I didn’t bring clothes. I didn’t bring a backpack, nothing. … If you find a way out, do it. Don’t plan to stay in Khartoum. If you think you are safe by staying at your home, you are not.”
