KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — It was a classic husband’s phone call. He was done for the day and would stop at the market before coming home. But he was returning from war, not work.

Fahmy al-Fateh never made it home. His wife, Azaher Abdallah, started calling friends and family, then turned to his colleagues in Sudan ‘s army. Her husband was last seen leaving a military base in the capital, Khartoum, on a motorcycle. That was over a year ago.
