I'm worn out. I'm simply so exhausted. One lady talks about experiencing the catastrophe in Sudan.

Iman Abu Garjah, a British-Sudanese doctor, has been stuck in Sudan since the fighting began last Saturday. She has been stranded at home and in shelters without food or water, and petrol has become an increasingly important commodity. On Thursday, she prepared supper, made sunny side up eggs, and tried to moisten stale bread. Late at night, she heard missiles, and her father had limited mobility due to illness. Her cousin is also with them, and her daughter was mortified and inconsolable.
Her mother and sister were also there, and she could hear the shelling and shaking coming into the house. CNN has been regularly in touch with Iman Abu Garjah since the fighting began. The most important details in this text are the domestic helpers from Kenya and Ethiopia who were very scared. The speaker started reading the Lord's Prayer with one of the Kenyan house helpers, and they were also scared of the Ethiopian house helpers. There were two or three loud thuds close to the house, and the speaker started reading the Quran to calm the children.
On Friday, the speaker didn't hear any of the Eid call to prayers, which is one of the main reasons they came from the UK to have a nice fast with family. The narrator's family is facing a logistical nightmare as many people are fleeing to Egypt. They have a big family and each person or group has different requirements. They try to be positive, but their attention span has gone. They focus on the good stuff: they have oil, electricity, running water, and cars in the driveway, but no petrol for them.
They are avoiding the news because statements by both parties seem to have the same author: they are your saviour and victor. They are both untruthful, manipulative, blood thirsty men with no regard for the dignity nor lives of the people they are paid to serve and protect.
