Hamsa Alfaki lived happily in Khartoum North with her six-year-old daughter, parents and sister. About a year after she started a new job with the Norwegian Refugee Council, she found herself faced with having to flee her home herself.
The 32-year-old never thought she would find herself in this position, torn between home and seeking safety from fighting between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Here she tells Al Jazeera in her own words how that experience has impacted her.
