Kadugli: An Isolated City Rife with Hunger and Fear
Mohamed Abdelbagi
In Kadugli, war is no longer episodic, it is infrastructural. Mohamed Abdelbagi’s reporting depicts a city compressed by siege, famine and militarization, where geography becomes a trap and movement a gamble between death and starvation. Hunger here is not incidental, it is produced through road closures, the withdrawal of humanitarian actors and the tightening ring of armed forces. Kadugli stands as a warning of what happens when violence is allowed to harden into permanence.

The word “Atar” in Sudanese dialect is derived from the classical Arabic word “Athar” (meaning “trace”). In a common phrase, we say “Qassas Al-Atar,” referring to a specialist in tracking the traces of lost people in the desert. This carries significant implications in the field of journalism, which requires investigation and inquiry. This is the meaning behind the magazine’s name.
