The International Crisis Group posted on 16 April 2025 a 34-minute podcast titled "Sudan's Two Years of Hell" with Alan Boswell and Dallia Mohamed Abdelmoniem, Sudanese political commentator and civil society activist.
Dallia and her family departed Khartoum soon after the war began two years ago and ended up taking refuge in Egypt. She stays in touch with persons who remained in the capital region and follows events closely.
Those who remained in Khartoum describe the situation as "hell on earth" and living in an open prison. People are just trying to make something out of nothing. Ethnic divisions have become more severe and may permanently divide the country. Much of the country has now experienced war crimes committed by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and even if they dislike the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) they just want to see the end of the RSF. Dallia longs to return to Khartoum but does not envisage an early end to the power struggle between the RSF and the SAF.
