Since Saturday, fierce fighting has been going on in Sudan between government forces and the paramilitary group RSF that is trying to take power. Denis Semakula from Uganda is head of Läkarmissionen's humanitarian work in the country, when SVT reaches him he is at his home in Karthoum.

He says he has not gone out since the fighting began and that he lives on the supplies he has stockpiled. From the streets there are regular shots and explosions.

"The situation is evolving so fast that it's hard to know what will happen. They fight with heavy weapons and it's hard to get an idea of what's going on," says Denis Semakula.

Will stay

Despite this, he and Läkarmissionen have no intention of leaving the country. Semakula estimates that around half of the country's population will be in need of humanitarian assistance as the already lack of access to food, water and electricity is exacerbated by the fighting.

"We want to stay here and help the people here in Sudan. Our mission is to help the people of Sudan live good lives. If we leave, people will be worse off.
