Raghuveer Sharma, a 29-year-old Indian man, tells of the harrowing experience of living in fear for seven days as the violence in Sudan escalated. With the help of his colleagues, Sharma managed to keep himself and his brothers safe by agreeing to let armed groups take whatever they wanted in exchange for food. The children who attacked them were mostly 10-15-year-olds who did not seem to know how to use firearms competently. The evacuation of Sharma and his colleagues was made possible by the Indian Embassy in Sudan, and the situation in Sudan is now said to be returning to normal.
