The Sudan Animal Rescue team has spent months fundraising for and coordinating the rescue of lions left starving to death amid conflict in the country.
Lying on the hard desert ground, a lion is reduced to a pile of fur and bones – drained of all the strength and power we associate with the ferocious predator. So emaciated, he is barely even recognisable. He gently squirms as a towel is placed over his eyes by a rescue worker. There is no bite or fight left in him. Captive animals are rarely spared from the horrors of conflict - even victimising the beasts we traditionally fear and respect.
It is unclear what happened to the eight other lions. Other than starvation and illness, reports indicate that some were killed and taken by the RSF. Only a month later in December, the RSF advanced on Wad Madani. Their campaign of violence pushed hundreds of thousands of people to flee within the first few days - many displaced for a second time.
