KHARTOUM, Sudan: One month since Sudan's conflict erupted, its capital is a desolate war zone where terrorized families huddle at home as gun battles rage, while the western Darfur region has descended into deadly chaos.

Residents of Khartoum have endured weeks of desperate food shortages, power blackouts, communications outages and runaway inflation.
