‘We are the lost generation of Sudan’: Students in exile

Islam Ibrahim, a 20-year-old Sudanese pharmacy student, fled her home in Sudan after her father was killed during the conflict in el-Fasher. She now resides in the Korsi refugee camp in the Central African Republic, where she helps other displaced Sudanese women and girls. Despite seeking safety, she faces pressure from family members to return to Sudan to settle her late father's estate, which could force her and her sisters into unwanted marriages. Many Sudanese students in the camp share similar stories, having been forced to abandon their education due to the ongoing war. The conflict has disrupted schooling for millions of students in Darfur and other regions controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), creating a significant educational divide compared to those in areas under the control of the Sudanese army. Some students have managed to enroll in universities in the Central African Republic, but re-entering higher education remains challenging.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the experiences of Sudanese students affected by the ongoing conflict without overtly favoring any political side. It highlights the impact of the war on education and displacement without using biased language or selectively presenting information to support a particular stance
