[Dabanga] Dr Saad Yousif Obeid, professor in theatre at the Sudan University, had to flee his home in Omdurman after war broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in mid-April 2023. In El Gedaref, eastern Sudan, and later in Cairo, Egypt, he wrote about his and his son's experiences on the 99th day of the war, "maybe the blackest of our days ever", and what made him decide to leave.
