Darfur: Tragedy, Rescue, and Survival Amidst Conflict

Aged just 19, Alawia Babiker Ahmed miscarried as she was fleeing on foot the devastating war that has ravaged Sudan’s western region of Darfur.

“I was bleeding on the way,” she told the BBC, before hastening to add that she saw people who were “worse off” during her traumatic three-day walk of about 70km (45 miles) from the besieged city of el-Fasher to the small town of Tawila.
