‘Nerve-wracking’: Lions leave conflict area in Sudan

The person in charge of a place that takes care of animals in the middle of a war zone said it is very hard to rescue trapped animals, like lions and hyenas, in a safeway.


Osman Salih said it took a fewdays to save the stuck animals from a Sudanese animal rescue center near the cityKhartoum.
For the past seven months, it has been hard to find enough food and take care of the animals because of the fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.


“It was a difficult mission,lots of vehicles were taken and we brought supplies with them… Our base has been attacked many times,” Osman Salih told the BBC’s Newsday show.


When the war started, there were 23 lions, 6 hyenas and 30 other types of animals in the center.
But after a few months, some of the animals got sick and died because the veterinarians couldn’t get them the medicine they needed,according to Salih.


He said it was hard to evacuate the conflict area because we needed to get permission,talk to both sides and it took a long time to plan. This is because the RSF controls the area. He said it was a very difficult job and a big risk for the team.


The animals are being moved to safer places in different cities outside the capital.
