For Omnia Elgunaid, a university student, one year marks a somber milestone: "I can't believe a year has passed since the start of the worst nightmare of our lives," she told ABC News.


On April 15, 2023, Omnia said she was sleeping into the afternoon when she was woken up by "loud bombing." She said friends and family told her there was a war outside, but she didn't believe it at first.


"It was only when I checked my social media, and saw videos of jet fighters, bombs, shells, shootings that the spell was broken and I realized this is for real. The war has begun," she said. Satellite images show fire damage to one of the tallest buildings in the capital, Khartoum, the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company (GNPOC) Tower in the central business district, which caught fire during clashes on Sept. 17, 2023.


"It was just this beautiful characteristic of the Khartoum skyline," Tagreed Abdin, the senior architect of the construction phase of the 18-story tower, told ABC News from Cairo. "I have worked on a lot of buildings in Khartoum, but this was one of my favorites."


“I remember returning early from my honeymoon to start work on the project”, Abdin said from Cairo. But when she saw videos of the building aflame, she remembered all the effort and detail that went into its design, “The part of the building burning at the top, it was called the Jewel of the Nile. It was a great source of pride to me”.
