Arrival of Omar’s Convoy in Al-Liffa at Night
A heavy silence blanketed Al-Liffa—the kind that precedes a storm—when faint lights began to appear in the distance along the dusty road coming from Kassala. The night was dark, save for a pale shimmer of moonlight, but the roar of military engines tore through the fragile stillness of the town, as if the ground itself trembled under their approach.
On the edges of Al-Liffa, men stood behind their windows, watching the road with anxious eyes. Women gathered their children in inner rooms and switched off their lamps, fearing that any light might attract unwanted attention. Elderly men sat in their small courtyards, their hearts uneasy as they tried to make sense of what was unfolding on this heavy night.
