HEIBAN, SOUTH KORDOFAN – MAY 13, 2024: Hannah Jagod counsels recent arrival form Khartoum during a trauma healing workshop hosted by faith leaders in the Nuba Mountains.
As the War In Sudan reverberates outward from Khartoum, leaders from the country’s remote Nuba Mountains are behaving heroically – facilitating the evacuation and resettlement of thousands of displaced Sudanese at great risk to themselves. But as the war continues, half of the country now faces acute hunger, further straining the resettlement of 12 million displaced Sudanese – a staggering one fifth of the country.
Extended Caption: “Wars have happened here several times,” Jagod said, “so many people are traumatized. But we have created peace for ourselves. We have withstood everything. And we are resilient. One month after the war erupted in Khartoum, Jadod and her team coordinated with volunteers inside the city to evacuate thousands of refugees to the relative safety of the Nuba Mountains. “When we heard the cry of the people, we organized. And it really is a miracle for them, because it is a risk to move during this war. If these rebels get you, they will look for ways of finishing you. Especially if you are Black, not an Arab. That one is automatic. They don't want anybody to move. So coming with those buses, it is a risk you're taking. But people are moving towards Nuba, because there is hope.”
