However, the claim is false: AFP Fact Check found the video was old and filmed in Libya. On April 20, 2023, a Facebook post shared a 20-second clip showing a lion wandering the streets of a city. A lion was seen today moving in the street of the capital Khartoum," the video caption reads. A tweet published on April 20, 2023, shared the same video alongside a claim that the lion had "escaped a zoo" in Khartoum. But the video of a lion roaming in the streets was not filmed in Sudan.
