nothing s happening to us. i m not going to turn round to my children and say, we re in danger. for ten days, mohamed races out to find water. he s a dual british sudanese national whose wife died three years ago. being a single parent household, i couldn t take my kids out with me, obviously, because it s a war zone. and at the same time, i couldn t leave them behind me, because they were panicking every time i wanted to leave the house. finally, the family make a run for it through khartoum s devastation. this is some of the damages. wow! first, they reach a neighbourhood controlled by sudan s regular army. we finally are amongst the army, our people, and feel safe. and then on, to join the crowds hoping to be airlifted out by british forces. after their ordeal, ii year old sadiq is ill.
first, they reach a neighbourhood controlled by sudan s regular army. we finally are amongst the army, our people, and feel safe. and then on, to join the crowds hoping to be airlifted out by british forces. after their ordeal, ii year old sadiq is ill. he and his sisters don t have british passports, but their father s is enough to get them onto the plane. relief on every face. within hours, the family reaches cyprus. and then, an emotional reunion in london gatwick. mohamed s brother waiting at arrivals. it is bittersweet. all my work, all my business, everything is back in sudan. but i do plan to leave my kids here. they re quite happy about it.
