Trapped by #War, Saved by 2 #Students With a Taxi

As feuding generals turned the Sudanese capital into a war zone, two university students navigated a battered Toyota through the chaos to rescue dozens of desperate people.

"Over the following week, Mr. #Tibwa, 25, and Mr. #alGada, 23, rescued dozens of desperate people from one of #Khartoum's fiercest battle zones, according to interviews with the students, those they extracted and hundreds of text messages. Along the way they were robbed, handcuffed and threatened with execution. Fighters accused them of being spies. #Diplomats implored them to retrieve their passports and pets. Shellfire and stray bullets fell around their car."
