Hassan Tiboa and Sami Al-Jaddah risked their lives to save others in Sudan's war. The two students rescued dozens of desperate people from one of Khartoum's fiercest fighting zones.

They were robbed, handcuffed and threatened with execution, accused by fighters of being spies, and shell fire and stray bullets fell around their car. Over the course of six days, they were able to assist at least 6 people, including South African diplomats, Russian aid workers and UN workers.
