War-weary Sudanese celebrate as Ramadan returns to Khartoum
Communal iftars resumed as neighborhoods in Khartoum saw a return of families displaced by war, with 13 families gathering on one street, residents said.
- After the recapture of Khartoum in February 2026, men gathered in the streets on the first day of Ramadan to break the fast, restoring communal iftar, residents said.
- Years of sustained fighting have caused entire neighbourhoods to be besieged and left in ruins, with tens of thousands killed and millions displaced, according to reports.
- At communal tables and on mats, neighbours and families shared dishes and glasses of helo-murr, with 13 families in one street and 17 in El-Obeid, said Abdelkader Omar.
- Despite renewed public life, markets and parts of Omdurman look different this year, with a resident saying `goods are available, but prices compared to wages makes things difficult`.
- Beyond the streets, the local currency collapsed to 3,500 to the US dollar in 2026, with 2024 inflation at 13 percent, reflecting ongoing economic strain.
