War-weary Sudanese celebrate as Ramadan returns to Khartoum

Communal iftar resumed in Khartoum on the first day of Ramadan this year, with men gathering outdoors for the meal, residents said.
After the army recaptured parts of the capital, returnees like Hassan Bachir, 53, came back, reversing last Ramadan's small gatherings into larger ones.
Scenes included men sitting on mats, bringing shared dishes and serving glasses of helo-murr at sunset, with residents reporting 13 families on one street and 17 in El-Obeid to break the fast.
Residents said they found their neighbourhoods safe and no one missing, despite deadly drone strikes and nationwide fighting continuing in the Kordofan region.
With triple-digit Sudan's annual inflation and the black-market rate at 3,500 to the dollar in 2026, markets have reopened but prices make things difficult, residents said.
