NEW HALFA, Sudan: Khadir Ali and his family managed to survive a harrowing paramilitary attack in war-torn Sudan. But by the time they got to safety, he realized that one person was missing. “We escaped in total chaos — there was gunfire coming from every direction,” said the 47-year-old civil servant of the October 22 Rapid Support Forces attack on Rufaa in Al-Jazira state. “But once we got out of the city, we noticed my nephew wasn’t with us,” he said. Mohammed, 17, suffers from a congenital skin condition and “needs special care.”
