Americans and civilians describe their effort to escape Sudan, despite a new three day truce between the warring generals. A travel writer from Massachusetts is one of the thousands of Americans trapped in the fighting in Sudan.

The Fighting is from the war of two generals that are both threatening to explode into all out civil war. There was no running water, power cuts, and no access to cash. The ones who made it out described their stories and what they had witnessed.

A woman describes that it was mayhem when she left. She saw mothers with their children escaping their village to find safety. Also, she saw many villages that had been destroyed from war.
