Sudan fighting: Travel blogger Maheen S trapped amid fighting
A 22-year-old travel blogger has found himself trapped in Sudan’s capital Khartoum during the heavy fighting between rival generals. A 24-hour cease-fire reportedly went into effect on Tuesday, but heavy fighting raged up until the time it was supposed to begin, and it was unclear whether it would hold. The truce, reported by several Arab media outlets, was to begin Tuesday at 6 p.m. local time. Maheen S, known as hitchhiking.nomad on Instagram with over 200 thousand followers, started a journey by land through Asia to Africa. He arrived to Sudan on 12 March and to Khartoum five days before the battles started. He unexpectedly got stuck in the city amidst the fighting.
