Power cuts, rubble: millions come home to find Sudan's capital unlivable
Millions of Sudanese returned to Khartoum following the army's recapture of the city last year, but they are met with a city struggling to recover. Power and water outages are common, and the economy is in shambles, with many residents unemployed. The UN declared only one percent of the city safe by June, with children killed and injured by booby-traps and unexploded shells still present. Despite the government's encouragement, many returnees are leaving again due to the harsh living conditions.
