An open-air cinema has begun screening films in Khartoum (Sudan's capital, which has been ravaged by civil war since fighting erupted between rival military factions in 2023), offering families a rare moment of normalcy amid ongoing conflict. Organisers aim to feature more Sudanese films as part of their programming, though frequent power outages pose a significant operational challenge. The initiative signals a tentative cultural revival in a city where daily life has been severely disrupted by the war.
