Ibrahim Imoro and David Abagna Sandan, two Ghanaian players who ply their trade in Sudan are travelling back to Ghana following the devastating chaos in Sudan.
The two Ghanaian players who represent the powerhouse Al Hilal SC have been granted permission to depart Sudan and are scheduled to be in Ghana soon.
People are struggling to survive amid the unrest in the nation, and there are food and water shortages in addition to airport closures. Al Hilal’s performance in the CAF Champions League group stage was greatly aided by Imoro and Abagna.
Abagna arrived from Real Tamale United, while Imoro transferred from Asante Kotoko SC to the Omdurman-based team. Other Ghanaian athletes who are currently competing in Sudan are anticipated to leave the nation.
What is happening in Sudan?
Khartoum and other towns in Sudan have erupted in violence as powerful competing military factions fight for control, raising the possibility of a full-scale civil war across the country. The root cause of the violence is a struggle for power. Tensions between the army and the formidable paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), had been building for weeks before fighting broke out on Saturday.
The conflict between the top two generals of Sudan erupted into war on April 15, pitting the East African nation’s military against the Rapid Support Forces, a state-sponsored militia.
The military is attacking RSF positions, many of which are in heavily populated areas, with jet aircraft. Both sides are also fighting on the streets with guns and artillery.
Tens of thousands of Sudanese have left their homes, while millions remain trapped with limited food and water supplies. As of April 20, there had been nearly 330 fatalities and nearly 3,200 injuries.
