For the past few years, the inhabitants of the Blue Nile and Nuba Mountain regions have had to assemble in refugee camps to find shelter from air raids by the Sudanese government, which targets civilians indiscriminately using Russian-made Antonov cargo planes. After a raid, it is not unusual to hear laughter and music ring out from these communities, not just out of relief that lives have been spared, but also as a means of safeguarding the community’s collective memory.
