A two-time world athletics champion has died in Sudan as a result of artillery shelling.

A prominent athlete, Abubaker Kaki Hamis, has died in Sudan; he was one of the most successful sportsmen in the country's history. According to sources, the 35-year-old athlete died as a result of a mortar shell hitting his home. He was killed, and several members of his family were injured.

Kaki Hamis was not just an athlete; he symbolized Sudanese sports. In 2011, he won a silver medal at the World Championship in the 800-meter run. In 2008 and 2010, he became the world indoor champion.

'He was not just a runner - he ran as if he was carrying the whole country on his shoulders,' wrote the world's sports media about him.

In 2008, Hamis represented Sudan at the Olympic Games and carried the national flag during the opening ceremony. In 2012, he reached the finals of the 800 meters and finished seventh at the Olympics.

These tragedies should remind us of the dangers constantly lurking in society in conflict zones. They bring grief and losses not only to athletes but also to their families and the entire country. We must always remember this and fight for peace and safety everywhere possible.
