Key takeaway He fled his native country in 2023 due to the ongoing civil war.
A refugee from Sudan has been living at the Gorom Refugee Settlement near Juba, South Sudan. He fled his native country in 2023 due to the ongoing civil war. The refugee had lost contact with his family, particularly his aging mother, who was trapped in a village near El Fasher.
His last contact with his mother was in November 2025, when fighters took control of the city. Further details about his story and the situation in the region are available from ReliefWeb.
