It was the moment hope turned to despair.
There was a lot of excitement within my family's household in Gorton because we were visiting Sudan for a family wedding. Then on the morning of the 15th of April, I received news I never expected. A civil war had broken out in my home country.
My initial response was shock and a strange case of deja vu. At this point, my mum told me conflict had broken out between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
