Surviving the Escape: One Woman's Journey from Sudan to Egypt.
TL;DR Summary
Eibhlin Priestley, a PhD candidate, was trapped in her apartment in Khartoum for four days during the conflict between Sudan's military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). She eventually escaped with the help of a family who risked their own safety to shelter her and her partner. The evacuation flight was organised by the German government, but Priestley received a pre-warning from the British government only after she had safely left Sudan. At least 420 people have died and thousands more have been injured since fighting broke out in mid-April.
