The character-driven short films will inspire and amaze, as these young change-makers tell their remarkable stories. \n\nAs a young boy, Mahmoud Waheed would listen to songs by famous Egyptian singers like Umm Kulthum and Mohamed Fawzy on train rides from Cairo station to Sohag, Upper Egypt, his place of birth. Mahmoud didn't know then that these ordinary trips would lay the foundation for his future career as one of Egypt's most promising choir conductors. \n\n\"The radio was an entertainment tool, and everyone in the family listened to their favourite radio station, and I used to listen to Umm Kulthum station from 5 to 11 pm,\" Mahmoud remembers. \"My musical background was made up of songs I heard on the radio or on cassettes while riding the train to my hometown,\" he explains. \n\nThe Shubra upbringing \n\nMahmoud was raised in the Shubra neighbourhoods, a dense district in the middle of Cairo where Muslims and Christians live together as one big family and are known for it. It is also known for its bustling, lively streets, vibrant shops, and an array of scattered mosques and churches. \n\n\"I memorised the Holy Quran and listened to elders' Islamic melodies when I was little,\" Mahmoud recalls. \"I listened to folk tunes in Shubra, and Coptic religious songs also existed in the neighbourhood,\" he says. \n\nHow the choir got started \n\nMahmoud describes himself as a singer, music enthusiast, composer, and maestro. He tells SCENES that as a university choir conductor, he noticed many young singers stopped singing unwillingly after graduation. \n\n\"College action has momentum. After college, they can't practise their activities; hence, the pleasant space they lived in ends,\" he says. Mahmoud created a structure that unites present and former students. \"That framework was done about two years ago,\" he confirms. \n\nMahmoud directs a choir called \"Arabic Harmony\". Initially, the group struggled to find a space to practise. Wedding halls and conference rooms were the only places suitable for 70 or 80 singers to congregate. \"Ain Shams University gave us access to their premises. After a few practice sessions, the university's president and the vice president gave us a theatre once or twice a week to sing. They helped a lot. The biggest difficulty was resolved,\" says Mahmoud. \n\nA Cappella effect \n\nOne of the choir's key musical attributes is a captivating style known as a cappella. A cappella is a singing style that uses no instruments. It was sung in churches and other places of worship in Europe in the late Middle Ages when not all of these places had musical instruments. \n\n\"Collective singing is more influential to the recipient and for the singer. The effect is stronger and more beautiful, and it makes people feel they are not alone, and this is an important value,\" Mahmoud says.\u00a0\"With our Oriental music, we want our singing framework to incorporate Western music, which is brilliant in its distributions and melodic lines,\" he explains. \n\nWestern music uses polyphony, while Arab music uses monophony. Polyphony has two or more melodic lines playing simultaneously, while monophony has one. \n\nA large melting pot \n\nThere are currently 190 people in the choir, and as many as 130 can show up at once for practice sessions. The maestro has assembled talented singers and musicians and moulded them into one cohesive ensemble. \n\nA reluctant Clara Edmon at first resisted. However, she has since become a featured soloist in the choir. \"At first, I sang with the choir at my college. At the time, I was singing Western music, but 'Arabic Harmony' sang Oriental, which made me a little nervous,\" says Clara. \"I really like what we do, and I really like the maestro,\" she adds. \n\nListening on repeat \n\nMahmoud Sami is the composer and producer for the choir. He and the maestro share more than just a first name. \"We want people who hear us to remember us and to come back to listen to our songs and play them again,\" Mahmoud Sami says, echoing the maestro's vision. \n\n\"Arabic Harmony\" hopes and dreams keep expanding as the choir garners more attention. It's progressing swiftly towards its long-term objective of winning widespread acclaim. Choir members have expressed their desire to perform at concerts worldwide and to participate in international festivals. It's an aspiration instilled in everyone by the maestro. \n\n","htmlText":"<p><strong>SCENES shines a spotlight on youth around the world who are breaking down barriers and creating change.

A string of temporary truces over the past week has eased fighting only in some areas, but in others, fierce battles have continued to drive civilians from their homes and push the country into disaster. \n\nHumanitarian aid \n\nHumanitarian groups have been trying to restore the flow of help to a country where nearly a third of the population of 46 million relied on international aid even before the explosion of violence. The UN food agency on Monday said it was ending the temporary suspension of its operations in Sudan, put in place after three of its team members were killed in the war-wrecked Darfur region early in the fighting. \n\nThe World Food Program will resume food distribution in four provinces \u2014 al-Qadaref, Gezira, Kassala and White Nile \u2014 working in areas where security permits, said Executive Director Cindy McCain said in a statement. The numbers of those in need of help will \"grow significantly as fighting continues,\" she said. \"To best protect our necessary humanitarian workers and the people of Sudan, the fighting must stop.'' \n\nA day earlier, the International Committee of the Red Cross flew in a planeload of medical supplies to bring some relief to hospitals overwhelmed by the mayhem. \n\nThe United States conducted its first evacuation of American civilians from Sudan. Watched over by US\u00a0military drones, a group of Americans made the perilous journey by road from the capital, Khartoum, to the Red Sea city of Port Sudan. On Monday, a US Navy fast transport ship took 308 evacuees from Port Sudan to the Saudi port of Jeddah, according to Saudi officials. \n\nDirect talks, if they take place, would be the first major sign of progress since fighting erupted on April 15 between the army and a rival paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces. For much of the conflict, army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF commander Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo have appeared determined to fight to the end. \n\nTheir struggle for power has put millions of Sudanese in the middle of gun battles, artillery bombardments and airstrikes. Around 530 people, including civilians and combatants, have been killed in the conflict, with another 4,500 wounded, the Sudanese Health Ministry said. Tens of thousands have fled Khartoum and other cities, and more than two-thirds of hospitals in areas with active fighting are out of service, with fighters looting the dwindling supplies. \n\nExplosions in Khartoum \n\nExplosions and gunfire echoed in parts of Khartoum and its neighbouring city, Omdurman, on Monday, residents said, hours after the two sides committed to the 72-hour cease-fire extension. \n\nAtiya Abdalla Atiya, Secretary of the Doctors' Syndicate, said the fighting raged early Monday in different areas in the capital, including the military's headquarters, the Republican Palace, and the international airport. There were also clashes in the upscale neighbourhood of Kafouri, he said. \n\nMany hospitals in the capital remained out of service or inaccessible because of the fighting, while others have been occupied by the warring factions, particularly the RSF, he said. \n\nThe United States and Saudi Arabia have led an international push to get the generals to stop fighting, then engage in deeper negotiations to resolve the crisis. \n\nSpeaking from Port Sudan, the UN envoy Perthes said they still face daunting challenges in getting the two sides to abide by a real halt in fighting where violations are prevented. One possibility was to establish a monitoring mechanism that includes Sudanese and foreign observers, \"but that has to be negotiated,\" he said. \n\nExtending the cease-fire \n\nTalks on entrenching the cease-fire could take place in either Saudi Arabia or South Sudan, he said, adding that the former may be easier logistically since it has close ties to both sides. \n\nBut even arranging talks in Saudi Arabia has challenges, he said, since each side needs safe passage through territory of the other to reach talks. \"That is very difficult in a situation where there is a lack of trust,\" he said. \n\nThe eruption of fighting capped months of worsening disputes between Burhan and Dagalo as the international community tried to work out a deal for establishing civilian rule. \n\n\"We all saw the enormous tensions,\" Perthes said. \"But very concretely, we have to say that our efforts to de-escalate did not succeed.\" He said he had been warning repeatedly that \"any single spark\" could cause the power struggle to explode. \n\nPerthes warned of a \"major humanitarian crisis\" as people were running out of food and fresh water in Khartoum and fighting damaged water systems. \n\nA real cease-fire is vital to getting access to residents who are trapped in their homes or injured, he said. \"If we don't get a stable cease-fire, then it means that the humanitarian situation will be even worse.\" \n\nHe also warned the fighting could pull in other armed factions in a country where multiple groups have fought several civil wars over the past decade. \"And that could transform into a broader confrontation between different groups and communities and militias in the country,\" he said.\u00a0 \n\nMore than 500 people have been killed in the fighting, with many foreign nationals and Sudanese people fleeing the country. It is reported that 20,000 have sought refuge in neighbouring Chad. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Sudan's warring generals have agreed to send representatives for negotiations, potentially in Saudi Arabia, the United Nations' top official in the country told The Associated Press on Monday, even as the two sides clashed in the capital despite another three-day extension of a fragile cease-fire.<\/p>\n<p>If the talks come together, they would initially focus on establishing a \"stable and reliable\" cease-fire monitored by national and international observers, Volker Perthes said, but he warned there were still challenges in holding the negotiations.

The agreement has de-escalated the fighting in some areas but violence continues to push civilians to flee. Aid groups have also struggled to get badly needed supplies into the country. \n\nThe conflict erupted on 15 April between the nation\u2019s army and its paramilitary force and threatens to thrust Sudan into a raging civil war. The UN warned on Sunday that the humanitarian crisis in Sudan was at \u201ca breaking point.\u201d \n\n\u201cThe scale and speed of what is unfolding in Sudan is unprecedented,\u201d the UN\u2019s humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths said in a statement. \n\nHe said water and food are becoming increasingly hard to find in the country\u2019s cities, especially the capital, Khartoum, and that the lack of basic medical care means many could die of preventable causes. Griffiths said that \u201cmassive looting\u201d of aid supplies has hindered efforts to help civilians. \n\nEarlier Sunday, an aircraft carrying eight tons of emergency medical aid landed in Sudan to resupply hospitals devastated by the fighting, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which organised the shipment. It arrived as the civilian death toll from the countrywide violence topped 400 and aid groups warned that the humanitarian situation was becoming increasingly dire. \n\nMore than two-thirds of hospitals in areas with active fighting are out of service, a national doctors' association has said, citing a shortage of medical supplies, health workers, water and electricity. \n\nThe air-lifted supplies, including anaesthetics, dressings, sutures and other surgical materials, are enough to treat more than 1,000 people wounded in the conflict, the ICRC said. The aircraft took off earlier in the day from Jordan and safely landed in the city of Port Sudan, it said. \n\n\u201cThe hope is to get this material to some of the most critically busy hospitals in the capital\u201d of Khartoum and other hot spots, said Patrick Youssef, ICRC\u2019s regional director for Africa. \n\nThe Sudan Doctors\u2019 Syndicate, which monitors casualties, said Sunday that over the past two weeks, 425 civilians were killed and 2,091 wounded. The Sudanese Health Ministry on Saturday put the overall death toll, including fighters, at 528, with 4,500 wounded. \n\nSome of the deadliest battles have raged across Khartoum. The fighting pits the army chief, Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, against Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, the head of a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces. \n\nThe generals, both with powerful foreign backers, were allies in an October 2021 military coup that halted Sudan's fitful transition to democracy, but they have since turned on each other. \n\nOrdinary Sudanese have been caught in the crossfire. Tens of thousands have fled to neighbouring countries, including Chad and Egypt, while others remain pinned down with dwindling supplies. Thousands of foreigners have been evacuated in airlifts and land convoys. \n\nOn Sunday, fighting continued in different parts of the capital where residents hiding in their homes reported hearing artillery fire. There have been lulls in the fighting, but never a fully observed cease-fire, despite repeated attempts by international mediators. \n\nOver the weekend, residents reported that shops were reopening and normalcy gradually returning in some areas of Khartoum as the scale of fighting dwindled after yet another shaky truce. But in other areas, terrified residents reported explosions thundering around them and fighters ransacking houses. \n\nYoussef, the ICRC official, said the agency has been in contact with the top command of both sides to ensure that medical assistance could reach hospitals safely. \n\n\u201cWith this news today, we are really hoping that this becomes part of a steady coordination mechanism to allow other flights to come in,\u201d he said. \n\nYoussef said more medical aid was ready to be flown into Khartoum pending necessary clearances and security guarantees. \n\nSudan\u2019s healthcare system is near collapse with dozens of hospitals out of service. Multiple aid agencies have had to suspend operations and evacuated employees. \n\nOn Sunday, a second US-government organized convoy arrived in Port Sudan, said State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller. He said the US is assisting American citizens and \u201cothers who are eligible\u201d to leave for Saudi Arabia where US personnel are located. There were no details on how many people were in the convoy or specific assistance the US provided. \n\nMost of the estimated 16,000 Americans believed to be in Sudan right now are dual US-Sudanese nationals. The Defence Department said in a statement on Saturday it was moving naval assets toward Sudan's coast to support further evacuations. \n\nMeanwhile, Britain has announced that an extra evacuation flight will depart from Port Sudan on Monday, extending what it called the largest evacuation effort of any Western country from Sudan. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Both sides have accused the other of violations.

But in other areas, terrified residents reported explosions thundering around them and fighters ransacking houses. \n\nNow in its third week, the fighting has wounded 2,023 civilians, the syndicate added, although the true toll is expected to be much higher. The Sudanese Health Ministry put the overall death toll, including fighters, at 528, with 4,500 wounded. In the city of Genena, the provincial capital of war-ravaged West Darfur, intensified violence has killed 89 people, the Doctors' Syndicate said. \n\nKhartoum, a city of some five million people, has been transformed into a front line in the grinding conflict between Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, the commander of Sudan\u2019s military, and Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who leads the powerful paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces. The outbreak of violence has dashed once-euphoric hopes for a democratic transition in Sudan after a popular uprising helped oust former dictator Omar al-Bashir. \n\nForeign countries continued to evacuate their citizens while hundreds of thousands of Sudanese fled across borders. The first convoy organised by the United States to evacuate hundreds of American citizens from the conflict reached the coastal city of Port Sudan Saturday after a dangerous overland journey escorted by armed drones. \n\nBritain, meanwhile, ended its evacuation flights Saturday, after demand for spots on the planes declined. The United Arab Emirates announced Saturday it had started evacuating its own citizens along with nationals of 16 other countries. \n\nMore than 50,000 Sudanese refugees - mostly women and children - have crossed over to Chad, Egypt, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, the United Nations said, raising fears of regional instability. Ethnic fighting and turmoil have scarred South Sudan and the Central African Republic for years while a 2021 coup has derailed Chad's own democratic transition. \n\nThose who escape the fighting in Khartoum face more dangers on their way to safety. The route to Port Sudan, where ships evacuate people via the Red Sea, has proven long, exhausting and risky. Hatim el-Madani, a former journalist, said that paramilitary fighters were stopping refugees at roadblocks outside Khartoum, demanding they hand over their phones and valuables. \n\n\u201cThere's an outlaw, bandit-like nature to the RSF,\u201d he said, referring to Dagalo's Rapid Support Forces. \u201cThey don't have a supply line in place. That could get worse in the coming days.\u201d \n\nAirlifts from the country amid the chaotic fighting also posed challenges, with a Turkish evacuation plane even hit by gunfire outside Khartoum on Friday. \n\nOn Saturday - despite a cease-fire extended under heavy international pressure early Friday - clashes continued around the presidential palace, headquarters of the state broadcaster and a military base in Khartoum, residents said. The battles sent thick columns of black smoke billowing over the city skyline. \n\nBut in other areas, residents reported signs that the cease-fire had taken hold. \n\n\u201cWe are not hearing the bombs as we did before, so we're hoping that this means they will go back to a political process,\u201d said Osman Mirgany, a columnist and editor of the daily al-Tayar, who assessed it was safe enough on Friday to return home to Khartoum after seeking refuge in a far-flung village. \n\nBut Khartoum residents are forced to live side by side with armed fighters. Many RSF militants have moved into civilian homes and taken over stores and hospitals in the capital. The paramilitary group even transformed Mirgany's newsroom into a makeshift base, he said. Residents also must cope without sufficient electricity and running water, among other basic supplies. \n\n\u201cFor the past 14 days we've suffered from a lack of everything,\u201d Mirgany said. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>With ordinary Sudanese caught in the crossfire, the civilian death toll jumped Saturday to 411 people, according to the Sudan Doctors' Syndicate, which monitors casualties.

They wanted her to incorporate some Sesotho dishes into a menu she was preparing for them, \"and I just realised then I didn't even know how they are cooked!\" \n\nChef Ska laughs remembering this conversation from 2009 when she had returned to her home country after walking away from a hugely successful career in South Africa. \n\n\"I looked everywhere, I went on Google, I looked in bookshops\u2026 I could not find any Sesotho recipes.\" \n\nChef Ska realised that if she didn't document Sesotho cuisine, it might disappear, so this became her labour of love. \n\nListen to the episode: \n\nSaving Basotho food culture \n\n\"Everywhere I went, I was just looking for the senior people there to sit down with, so they can tell me the stories behind the food and the stories behind the dishes\", she recalls. \n\nThe food Chef Ska discovered was \"simple\" and full of \"clean flavours\". \n\n\"We don't use a lot of spices. You'd find that our dishes have two, three ingredients\", she says. \n\nSorghum and beans, amaranth, wild greens and African spinach\u2026 Chef Ska was rediscovering the food of her ancestors and taking notes. \n\nThe thing that surprised her the most was discovering how \"nutritious\" Basotho food was. \n\n\"Actually, we don't need more than what we have because we've always been eating complete meals\". \n\nIn the beginning, the villagers received Chef Ska with a mixture of intrigue and bemusement. After all, traditional Basotho dishes are more often seen as food for the poor and aren't very popular in the cities.\"Everyone was like, Why? We want the Western stuff and you come to us with this boring stuff\", chuckles Ska, remembering her trip. \n\n\"I'm like, Look, I just want to do it. I just want it to be documented. I want it there for my children, for my great, great, great, great, great-grandchildren. For future generations\". \n\n\"I never knew how to cook it\" \n\nUpon her return Chef Ska standardised the recipes and compiled them into a cookbook, \"Cuisine of the Mountain Kingdom: Cooking in Lesotho\", which she then self-published. \n\nWritten in English, the book has piqued the curiosity of readers beyond Lesotho\u2019s borders. Chef Ska's interviews have appeared in publications across Africa, Asia and Europe. \n\n\"When I self-published, it was just to keep the information\", she remembers. \n\n\"I didn't know that the book would do so well because I think I didn't understand why nobody had ever thought of doing it before\". \n\nIn 2012, Ska won the prestigious Gourmand Cookbook award for best African cookbook. But the most remarkable feedback came from the Basotho people themselves. \n\n\"Basotho people were like, I never knew how to prepare this dish. My grandmother used to make it, she passed on and I never got a chance for her to teach me how it's done\". \n\nHelping highland farmers \n\nCompletely surrounded by South Africa, Lesotho is heavily dependent on its richer neighbour for resources, including remittances. \n\nWhile trying to cook traditional recipes, Ska realised the scale of the challenge in securing locally grown ingredients. \n\nSmall-scale farmers struggle to bring their produce to the cities, and the cities rely instead on imported foods. \n\n\"If COVID taught us anything with the problems that we experienced during the lockdown when the borders were closed\", she points out. \n\n\"We are now working very, very hard to reclaim food sovereignty, to make sure that we actually feed ourselves\". \n\nOnce Ska finished writing her book, she turned her attention to educating farmers on the importance of producing and distributing local ingredients. But thankfully, she didn\u2019t have to embark on this journey alone. \n\nIf you want to know more about Lesotho's food culture and hear the full story of Chef Ska Moteane, listen to this episode of the Star Ingredient. \n\nSka will also share her recipe for a traditional Basotho dish, Nyokoe. \n\nIngredients for Nyokoe \n\nSorghum \n\nBeans \n\nSalt \n\nPreparation \n\nCook the sorghum and beans separately until soft. Sorghum might need 40 minutes to cook. Beans can take up to 2 hours depending on the variety. \n\nIngredients for a free-range chicken with spinach \n\nFree-range chicken \n\nOnion \n\nAfrican spinach \n\nRape leaves \n\nSalt \n\nPreparation \n\nClean and boil the free-range chicken until cooked. Separate the meat from the bones. \n\nCut the onions and fry them in a pan until golden. Add the chopped spinach and rape. \n\nCook for about 8 minutes. Make sure to not overcook the greens, they should be a bit crunchy. \n\nServe all elements on one plate and season with salt. \n\nBon appetit!\u00a0 \n\nThis project was funded by the European Journalism Centre, through the Solutions Journalism Accelerator.

Aid agencies raised increasing alarm over the crumbling humanitarian situation in a country reliant on outside help. \n\nA series of short cease-fires the past week have either failed outright or brought only intermittent lulls in the fighting that has raged between forces loyal to the country's two top generals since 15 April. The lulls have been enough for dramatic evacuations of hundreds of foreigners by air and land, which continued Tuesday. \n\nBut they have brought no relief to millions of Sudanese caught in the crossfire, struggling to find food, shelter and medical care as explosions, gunfire and looters wreck their neighbourhoods. In a country where a third of the population of 46 million already needed humanitarian assistance, multiple aid agencies have had to suspend operations and dozens of hospitals have been forced to shut down. The UN refugee agency said it was gearing up for potentially tens of thousands of people fleeing into neighboring countries. \n\nCalls for negotiations to end the crisis in Africa\u2019s third-largest nation have been ignored. For many Sudanese, the departure of diplomats, aid workers and other foreigners and the closure of embassies are terrifying signs that international powers expect the mayhem to worsen. \n\nUN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the power struggle between rival generals and their military forces is not only putting Sudan's future at risk, \u201cit is lighting a fuse that could detonate across borders, causing immense suffering for years, and setting development back by decades\u201d. \n\nThe UN chief urged the Sudanese military, commanded by Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the rival Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group led by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo \u201cto silence the guns\u201d immediately. \n\n\"The conflict will not, and must not, be resolved on the battlefield,\" Guterres told an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council late Tuesday. \n\nUN special envoy for Sudan Volker Perthes, who moved from Khartoum to Port Sudan with most UN staff and many humanitarian organisations, has accused both warring parties of fighting \u201cwith disregard for the laws and norms of war\u201d. \n\nWith supply lines running out, he said, there was mounting fear of increased criminality, and \u201creports of prisoners being released from detention centres across Khartoum have compounded these fears.\u201d \n\nThousands of Sudanese have been fleeing Khartoum and its neighbouring city of Omdurman. Bus stations in the capital were packed Tuesday morning with people who had spent the night there in hopes of getting on a departing bus. \n\nAt least 20,000 people have fled from Khartoum to the city of Wad Madani, 160 kilometres to the south, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said. Some 20,000 Sudanese have fled to Chad and around 4,000 South Sudanese refugees living in Sudan have returned home, according to the UN refugee agency, which is gearing up for tens of thousands more to flee to neighbouring countries. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Sudanese and foreigners streamed out of the capital of Khartoum and other battle zones, as fighting Tuesday shook a new three-day truce brokered by the United States and Saudi Arabia.

The lulls have been enough for dramatic evacuations of hundreds of foreigners by air and land, which continued Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>But they have brought no relief to millions of Sudanese caught in the crossfire, struggling to find food, shelter and medical care as explosions, gunfire and looters wreck their neighbourhoods. In a country where a third of the population of 46 million already needed humanitarian assistance, multiple aid agencies have had to suspend operations and dozens of hospitals have been forced to shut down. The UN refugee agency said it was gearing up for potentially tens of thousands of people fleeing into neighboring countries.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7557962,7557532,7556812\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2023//04//24//sudan-crisis-which-european-countries-are-evacuating-their-citizens/">Sudan crisis: Which European countries are evacuating their citizens?<\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2023//04//25//un-fears-more-displacement-from-sudan-as-people-seek-refuge-despite-cease-fire/">UN fears more displacement from Sudan as people seek refuge despite cease-fire <\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2023//04//25//sudan-implements-72-hour-ceasefire-as-evacuations-persist-fragile-truce-takes-hold/">RAF planes arrive in Khartoum for large-scale evacuation of British nationals<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Calls for negotiations to end the crisis in Africa\u2019s third-largest nation have been ignored.

The character-driven short films will inspire and amaze, as these young change-makers tell their remarkable stories. \n\nRamadan is regarded as the holiest month of the year for an estimated 1.8 billion Muslims around the world. Devotees observe the month by fasting or abstaining from food, drink and other vices from sunrise to sunset. \n\nSome go the extra mile by performing additional prayers, reading the Quran, or squashing negative tendencies like eating junk and gossiping. For Aisha Ornella Aniotrih, giving charity completes her Ramadan. \n\n\"This is the time I can give more. This is a chance for me to become better than I was before,\" Aisha tells SCENES. \n\nAisha uses her time wisely by cooking and distributing food to the homeless children of the Kisenyi slums in Uganda's capital, Kampala. She first encountered these children five years ago when she noticed them collecting discarded plastic bottles to sell to recyclers. Later, a friend told her that the children were Muslims and that they fast during Ramadan. \n\n\"These kids sleep on the streets, whether it's cold or sunny, whether it's raining. Every day of their lives, they don't even know where they're going to get something to eat. Yet the following day, they fast again and again and again. That inspired me,\" Aisha says. \n\nA time for charity \n\nWhile Aisha is motivated, her mission is hard work. \"You're looking at 200 kids. I wondered what I could do to help them eat the food when it's still hot and to help myself get it there in one piece,\" Aisha explains. \n\nAt this time, Aisha met John Baptist Galiwango, a social worker who helps rescue and rehabilitate children. \"We call them street-connected children, not street children, because the street does not produce children,\" he explains. \n\nAccording to John Baptist, these children become homeless for various reasons. Some are orphaned, and some are runaways from abusive families. The 32-year-old social worker provides them with temporary refuge at a shelter. \n\nJohn Baptist had space at the shelter for Aisha to cook and the children to break their fast at dusk. On the menu are Uganda's staples like potatoes, rice, beef, soup and beans with cassava - a hearty meal for the children who often go for days without food. \n\nTough life on the streets \n\n\"Our normal days on the street are not easy at all because we suffer too much. We struggle to get food. Someone in the gang can come and beat you or can take your things,\" says 15-year-old Hakim. He left his home eight years ago due to a conflict with his father and has been living on the streets ever since. \n\nIn the densely populated Kisenyi slum, John Baptist estimates 3,500 children are homeless. Each night, Hakim, like most children living on the streets in Kisenyi, struggles to find a safe spot to lay his sack to sleep on. \n\nShaped by the harsh conditions of street living and various life traumas that brought them there, the children are hardened, and some instinctively respond violently. Thus, social workers like John Baptist have their work cut out for them. \n\nRamadan rescue and rehabilitation \n\nJohn Baptist says he is pleasantly surprised that the children are more receptive during Ramadan. \"Rescuing children in Ramadan is easier because these children are already touched. They know that Ramadan is a holy month. They are approachable,\" he says. \n\nHe takes advantage of this religious period to reach out to and counsel the children. Encouraged by the spirit of Ramadan, the children often forgive each other, and some even reconcile with their parents and return home. \n\n\"They deserve to be loved just like any other child. They have the ability and the potential to achieve their goals. And this is why we are here, to help them achieve that,\" John Baptist adds. \n\nA blessing \n\nAccording to Aisha, the simple initiative of feeding homeless children during Ramadan has a positive ripple effect. \n\n\"You feed them today, for you, you finish your part. But this kid is going to live one more day, to fast one more day. It's something that fills me up because you're giving someone out there hope to live one more day,\" she adds. \n\nHaving a full stomach is a rare occurrence for homeless children like Hakim. \n\n\"Not everybody wants to give us a meal. To get someone to give you a meal, just know that you are blessed,\" Hakim says. \n\nAisha hopes that her initiative can run all year round in the future so that the children living in the streets of Kisenyi can always find a meal, whether it is Ramadan or not. \n\n","htmlText":"<p><strong>SCENES shines a spotlight on youth around the world that are breaking down barriers and creating change.

There are between 22,000 and 24,000 of the big cats left in the wild. \n\nBut populations in West and Central Africa are particularly small and fragmented. There are around 1,000 lions in the region, authorities estimate.

Others drove hundreds of miles to the country's east coast. \n\nA stream of European, Mideast, African and Asian military aircraft flew in all day Sunday and Monday to ferry them out. \n\nThe United States has also started facilitating the departure of its private citizens who want to leave, according to White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. \n\nSullivan said the US has placed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets over the land evacuation route to help facilitate safe travel by land from Khartoum to the Port of Sudan, but does not have any US troops on the ground. \n\nFrance, Germany, Canada, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Turkey and Japan are among the many other countries that have started helping their citizens leave.\u00a0 \n\nBritish government under pressure \n\nThe UK has at least 2,000 of its citizens still in Sudan and has come in for criticism at home for not yet announcing any kind of plan to get them out. \n\nSome 1,200 British soldiers who were part of a military operation out of a key British air base on the east Mediterranean island of Cyprus helped evacuate around 30 UK diplomatic staff and their families but many other British citizens are becoming more desperate to escape the violence.\u00a0 \n\n\u00a0Britain\u2019s Africa Minister, Andrew Mitchell, said \u201cintense planning\u201d was underway for a \u201cseries of possible evacuations\u201d and reiterated UK foreign office advice for UK citizens in Sudan to stay indoors and await further instructions.\u00a0 \n\nTwo French flights took off Sunday from Khartoum to Djibouti, carrying some 200 people from various countries, and more were planned for Monday. \n\nAn Italian air force C-130 that left Khartoum with evacuees landed Sunday night at an air base in Djibouti, the country's Defence Ministry said. Another plane, carrying Italy's ambassador and military personnel involved in the evacuation, was expected in Djibouti later that night. \n\nSpain has evacuated some thirty nationals and 70 others from European or Latin American countries to Djibouti following an operation coordinated by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European Union. \n\nThe EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, told reporters in Luxemburg on Monday that more than one thousand European citizens have been evacuated from Sudan,\u00a0and that 21 people have already arrived in Europe. \n\n\"It has been a long weekend, a long and intense weekend trying to take our people out of Sudan. It has been a complex operation and it has been a successful operation, first the staff of the European Union, 21 people are already in Europe and many more European Union citizens are already out of Sudan, I can't give you the concrete figure, it's more than 1,000 people for sure,\" he said. \n\n\u201cWe have to continue pushing for a political settlement. We cannot afford that Sudan, which is a very populated country, implodes because it will be sending shockwaves around the whole [of] Africa\u201d, he added.\u00a0 \n\nOfficials in Jordan said four planes landed at Amman military airport carrying 343 Jordanian evacuees from Port Sudan. \n\nSudan fears the worst \n\nBut for many Sudanese, the airlifts are a terrifying sign that international powers, after failing repeatedly to broker ceasefires, only expect a worsening of the fighting that has already pushed the population into disaster. The latest nominal cease-fire, which brought almost no reduction in fighting, was due to run out Monday evening. \n\nMeanwhile, Sudanese nationals are desperately trying to flee the violence. Many risked dangerous roads to cross the northern border into Egypt. \n\nOver 420 people, including 264 civilians, have been killed and over 3,700 wounded in fighting between the Sudanese armed forces and the powerful paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF. \n\n\u201cMy family (my mother, my siblings and my nephews) are on the road from Sudan to Cairo through Aswan,\u201d prominent Sudanese filmmaker Amjad Abual-Ala wrote on Facebook. \n\nThe power struggle between the Sudanese military, led by General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, and the RSF, led by General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, has dealt a harsh blow to Sudan's hopes for a democratic transition. The rival generals came to power after a pro-democracy uprising led to the ouster of the former strongman, al-Bashir.\u00a0 \n\nIn 2021, the generals joined forces to seize power in a coup. \n\nThe current violence came after Burhan and Dagalo fell out over a recent internationally brokered deal with democracy activists meant to incorporate the RSF into the military and eventually lead to civilian rule. \n\nBoth generals, each craving international legitimacy, have accused the other of obstructing the evacuations. The Sudanese military alleged the RSF opened fire on a French convoy, wounding a French national. The RSF countered the attack by warplanes as French citizens and diplomats left the embassy for Omdurman, saying the military\u2019s strikes \u201cendangered the lives of French nationals.\u201d \n\nHospitals have struggled as the violence rages on. Many wounded are stranded by the fighting, according to the Sudan Doctors\u2019 Syndicate which monitors casualties. It has suggested the death toll is probably higher than anticipated. \n\nThousands of Sudanese have fled fighting in Khartoum and elsewhere, UN agencies said, but millions are sheltering in their homes amid explosions, gunfire and looting without adequate electricity, food or water. \n\nIn the western region of Darfur, up to 20,000 people left for neighbouring Chad. War is not new to Darfur, where ethnically motivated violence has killed up to 300,000 people since 2003. But Sudan is not used to such heavy fighting in its capital, which \"has become a ghost city,\u201d said Atiya Abdalla Atiya from the Doctors\u2019 Syndicate.","htmlText":"<p>Foreign governments are stepping up the pace of evacuations of diplomats, staff and citizens from Sudan as fears grow that rival generals factions will escalate their battle for power.<\/p>\n<p>The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of a \u201ccatastrophic conflagration\u201d that could engulf the whole region.<\/p>\n<p>In dramatic evacuation operations, convoys of foreign diplomats, civilian teachers, students, workers and families from dozens of countries wound past combatants at tense front lines in the capital of Khartoum to reach extraction points.
