Cairo / Amsterdam — After Radio Dabanga’s English team obtained The Disaster, a book written by Saad Obeid, professor in theatre at the Sudan University, about life in Omdurman during the first five months of the war, it was decided to publish excerpts of the text. Sharing Obeid’s memories means sharing the experiences of many Sudanese in areas occupied by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who lived through the same dangers, mental and physical assaults, perhaps even worse. When war broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and its paramilitary counterpart, the RSF, on April 15 last year, the RSF took control of large parts of Khartoum, Khartoum North, and Omdurman. People living in the frontlines fled their homes, but many others, expecting that the battles would not last long, chose to stay. The paramilitaries told the people that only abandoned houses would be prone to plundering, so many...

Alhaji Imam Alusine Khairaba Mansaray: Siera Leone Telegraph: 21 November 2024: In recent times, the street railings or guards constructed at Lumley Street in Freetown have proven to be a tragic hazard to public safety. Since last year, four lives have been claimed due to electrocution, the most recent victim being a man who was fatally struck by a live current while attempting to cross the street around 2:00am this past Monday. These incidents, involving both pedestrians and hawkers, highlight a severe and urgent danger that requires immediate attention from the government and concerned citizens alike. The railings, which were initially installed to provide a safer pedestrian experience, have instead become a source of untimely death. Electric poles positioned dangerously close to the railings have caused the tragic deaths of four individuals, including vulnerable street vendors and a 10-year-old child. These fatalities are a direct result of poor infrastructure planning...
