Harun sits crouched on a bed with a sheet over his head. He is in a state of psychosis and wishes to return to his home in central Khartoum.
He provides directions on which turns to take and which bridges to cross to get there.
The war has taken away the stability that kept him sane, and his mental illness now haunts his daily life.
Harun, living in psychosis – not wounded but deeply scarred
“There are still 37 bullets left in me, and a sniper shot my legs. I’ve taken 251 bullets in my legs and hip,” he says after lifting the blanket and pointing to parts of his body that show no signs of harm.
Though he wasn’t wounded, he’s deeply affected.
We find him in a shelter for hospital patients who cannot return home.
In a tented corner in the yard outside his ward, there are men recovering from gunshot wounds and amputated limbs.
