In the month of May, Amira embarked on a perilous journey through one of Sudan's most active war zones. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had just seized the city where she was living - En Nahud in the state of West Kordofan. The road out was dangerous, but she felt she had no choice. She was seven months pregnant. There were no hospitals anymore, no pharmacies, she said, and I was afraid if I stayed longer, I wouldn't find any vehicles heading out. Travel had become almost non-existent: incredibly difficult and extremely expensive. The civil war between the Sudanese military and the RSF has brutalized civilians for more than two years. Now, the front line has shifted to the southern region of Kordofan, through which Amira traveled. The BBC is not using her real name to protect her identity. As Amira fled, she recorded an audio diary made available to the BBC by the global campaigns group Avaaz. She was also reached by telephone in Uganda's capital, Kampala, where she is waiting to deliver her child. The RSF and its allies controlled all the transport, Amira said. When she and her husband boarded the truck to take her out of En Nahud, a fight broke out between the young man who had rented the vehicle for his family and the RSF driver, who was selling more seats to other passengers. The driver immediately pulled out his gun and threatened to shoot the young man who had rented the truck. Everyone was pleading with him, including his RSF companion, Amira said.
