In Sudan, families are gearing up for the holy month of Ramadan despite the continuous hardships caused by ongoing warfare. They are making efforts to stock up on necessary goods and household items for the holy month. Al Jazeera's camera crew visited one of the markets in Omdurman, north of Khartoum, capturing the thoughts of citizens who are returning to a region that is witnessing a revival of normalcy after being the setting for military confrontations between the Sudanese army and rapid support forces.

A trader in the Omdurman market noted that business is more vibrant than it has been in the past, evidenced by the significant influx of customers and improved buying and selling conditions. Security in the area has been enhanced, further encouraging citizens to return voluntarily to Omdurman, where market activities are reportedly functioning normally even before the start of Ramadan. This markets carry historical significance and offer a wide range of products, from foodstuffs to household items, making them an essential stop for many.

A displaced Sudanese woman mentioned that conditions in Khartoum have improved, leading to a sense of security among residents. However, the prices in Omdurman's market remain inconsistent, as some goods and products are priced higher than others. This highlights the challenges that families face in balancing their needs with the financial strains imposed by the ongoing conflict, even as they seek to celebrate Ramadan with some semblance of normalcy.
