Jose Tenga has worked in conflict zones in five African countries and now calls Calgary home, but still has friends in Sudan from when he lived in Khartoum.
“It’s very distressing. These guys are worried about the way the fighting has spread throughout the city. You cannot say there is a safe zone. The fighting has spread to the extent that it’s really dangerous to move around Khartoum,” Tenga said. Tenga said his two friends have been telling him how hard it is to get food and how there is no law enforcement. From his previous work on United Nations missions, Tenga knows that leads chaos and retribution.
“There’s violence in the streets and there is lawlessness now. There is no law and order,” said Tenga, who is originally from Sierra Leone.‘This is war’: Cochrane man stranded in Khartoum as explosions, gunfire rage through Sudan’s capitalTenga has has over three decades of professional and field experience that include multiple missions in conflict areas working with UNICEF, CANADEM and CAUSE Canada.
