Many Sudanese have fled the fighting to neighboring countries like Egypt, Chad, Ethiopia and South Sudan. But some found themselves trapped by a bureaucratic nightmare -- and they say the United States is responsible.
The 27-year-old software developer told CNN his home in the Nuzha neighborhood of the Sudanese capital was in “the middle of the war zone” when fighting broke out in April. “I even saw many people who were shot by… the people who were fighting in the streets near our house,” he said. “It is not safe at all to be in Khartoum, so I had to flee.
A bureaucratic logjam Arwa Idris, 20, said her family escaped Khartoum several weeks into the conflict, embarking on a treacherous journey to Port Sudan on the Red Sea in the hope of reaching a safe neighboring country by air, as the land route towards Egypt is unsafe. Before the violence broke out, Idris, a pharmacy student, applied for a visa to attend a UN youth conference in New York in April. “ was the biggest opportunity I have in my entire life,” she said.
