Khalid Albaih has made himself known in the Middle East through his drawings about, among other things, the Arab Spring, corrupt governments and the war in Syria. In the West, he is perhaps best known for his drawing of the black American football player Colin Kaepernick, kneeling with an afro in the shape of a clenched fist.
His latest drawing, "The Dog Fight," depicts the two main Sudanese enemies, army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and paramilitary leader General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, as dogs fighting over a piece of meat in the shape of Sudan.
"We are stuck in the middle between these two monsters," Albaih told Reuters.
"Art is about hope"
In Oslo, Albaih is co-leading an art program that was founded in the wake of the Arab Spring in 2011. The group explores how the media can promote democracy and human rights in the Middle East.
"Art is needed in times like this. It's important to show people that art is about hope, art is about showing that there's another way to talk about things.
The internet still works in Khartoum and Albaih is in constant communication with friends and family or posting practical advice to his followers on social media in the hope of helping those trying to leave the conflict-torn country.
More than 400 people have died so far as a result of the fighting in the country. Read more about the unrest in Sudan here.
