Osman Salih has found it hard enough to protect his own family through days of heavy fighting in Sudan's capital Khartoum, yet he braves battles to prevent lions and other wild animals from starving at a sanctuary he runs
"And at the same time, we can't give up on the responsibility towards the animals that we've worked so hard to rescue and take care of," Salih said in a video interview from the sanctuary at Al Bageir, southeast from the capital.
"We have no supplies, no fuel, no electricity, no water," said Salih, who travels 15 km to the outskirts of Khartoum to look after and feed more than 200 animals, including 25 lions and six hyenas. "The biggest risk right now is that if these animals continue to feel agitated and uncomfortable, they might try to break loose," he said, adding that the electric system that secures the enclosures is not working without power.
