People walk in Khartoum on September 20, 2026, following the return of displaced Sudanese to the capital. Last year, the army recaptured the capital and its government has since pushed a return to the city, much of which is still in ruins. By June, only 1 percent of the city had been declared safe by the UN, with dozens of children killed and injured by unexploded bombs lurking within walls and on street corners.
