From the transcript
Even by the lamentable standards of Sudan and the Civil War, the looming battle for Al-Fisher is likely to be a disaster, and Naima are written in the blood of civilians. The capital of North Darfur region, the city's great metro area, is home to always 2 million people, the vast majority drawn from the fur and zagawa tribes.
Even prior to the outbreak of the current war, it was a city scarred by trauma.
Many of those who lived there are from communities that fled the countryside during the Dar fur genocide in the mid-2000s, when gender-weed militias comprised of Arab horsemen slaughtered darker skinned Darfurries by the thousands. But it's only now as this current conflict picks up steam, but Al-Fisher appears to be embarking on its darkest hour.
