In the midst of Sudan’s devastating civil war, the Jebel Marra mountains stand as a rare sanctuary where life continues almost undisturbed. Women clad in vibrant attire, accompanied by children, traverse the lush fields daily, cultivating crops like peanuts, oranges, apples, and strawberries. This Mediterranean-like climate and fertile soil have long made Jebel Marra a hub for organic produce, particularly its prized oranges. However, the ongoing conflict has severely disrupted the region’s ability to transport these goods to national markets, leaving farmers and vendors in dire straits.
