NPR posted on 26 April 2025 the text of a conversation titled "Sudan's Capital City Is Finally Repaired--But Shattered Beyond Recognition" between Scott Simon and Emmanuel Akinwotu, international correspondent for NPR.
After two years of fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the SAF has regained control of Khartoum. Emmanuel Akinwotu recently visited Khartoum and described the destruction and desperation in the capital city. The dismantlement of the US Agency for International Development is adding to the challenges of surviving in Khartoum.
