[00:01:50] and fuel supply situation in

[00:02:27] and development of the agricultural sector in and imports, Dr. Jibril Ibrahim, emphasized the government's interest
[00:02:30] in controlling and regulating cross-border trade with neighboring countries
[00:02:33] and reviewing the legislation
[00:02:35] dangers represent two and agreements regulating it
[00:02:38] the previous period and for his direct supervision to increase its revenues and support the national economy. This came during a broad
[00:02:42] meeting at the Ministry of Finance that discussed a report on
[00:02:45] the foundations and controls for regulating cross-border trade.
[00:02:49] The meeting stressed the need
[00:02:51] announced the provision of a daily to unify legal and regulatory frameworks
[00:02:54] and enhance coordination between the federal government and the states.
[00:02:58] The meeting also affirmed the adoption of the Baladna digital platform
[00:03:01] to complete export and import
[00:03:04] that undeniably refutes
[00:03:05] It will be attended by 100 procedures and facilitate services
[00:03:07] and importers.
[00:03:11] The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Welfare
[00:03:14] in Khartoum launched the Bayan digital platform
[00:03:17] under the slogan of digital transformation as a pillar
[00:03:20] for building and developing civil
[00:03:22] service.
[00:03:24] In Khartoum, in a step considered one of the most
[00:03:29] about the Abu Dhabi regime's looting important pillars of rebuilding state agencies, the Ministry
[00:03:32] of Human Resources
[00:03:34] camp level. We are in and Social Welfare launched the Bayan
[00:03:37] digital platform under the slogan of digital transformation
[00:03:41] refinery in Khartoum as a pillar for building and developing civil service.
[00:03:43] The event witnessed extensive ministerial attendance
[00:03:47] from the Government of Hope, as the platform comes
[00:03:50] as a vital tool for network
[00:03:54] of millions of connectivity between various governmental bodies and units and the Civil Service Bureau
[00:03:57] with the aim of unifying state employee
[00:04:01] items be handed over. data and ensuring institutional integration
[00:04:04] through the computerization of employee records in all
[00:04:08] state institutions, making information accurately available
[00:04:14] is not limited to support for Sudan, to decision-makers without delaying procedures. The Bayan system provides salary structure and job
[00:04:18] description data, as well as birth and gender
[00:04:21] information, with the possibility of linking it to digital
[00:04:25] identity and the public key
[00:04:27] encryption
[00:04:29] indicate that part of Sudanese platform to become more accurate
[00:04:32] and more integrated, and displays job information
[00:04:35] by grades and categories, which creates clarity in the administrative
[00:04:38] structure of the state,
[00:04:40] that tens of tons of Sudanese eliminates overlap, and increases efficiency. This strategic
[00:04:44] step comes to overcome the effects left
[00:04:46] by the War of Dignity, which caused
[00:04:49] widespread damage to national
[00:04:57] محور in the Emirati the work we launched in databases. The world today
[00:04:59] strategy in the African the past period in Al-Jazirah, in is witnessing Khartoum, with Qatar Charity, with an unprecedented digital revolution, and data has become a strategic resource
[00:05:03] no less important than other economic
[00:05:06] resources. Modern governments are managed
[00:05:10] by data and
[00:05:14] their decisions on accurate
[00:05:17] information, and their efficiency is measured
[00:05:21] by the speed and quality of service delivery.
[00:05:24] From this, the Bayan digital platform
[00:05:28] represents more than an electronic system.
[00:05:32] Minister of Defense Lieutenant General Hassan Dawood Kibrun affirmed
[00:05:36] and developing this project has become a duty
[00:05:40] imposed by the current stage, stressing that digital
[00:05:43] services will save time and effort
[00:05:47] and facilitate citizens' transactions.
[00:05:49] In the past,
[00:05:53] we faced forgery and fraud.
[00:05:57] Clearly, when you got
[00:06:00] an employee's or soldier's file,
[00:06:04] you'd find something erased, adding four, five, six
[00:06:07] years to get a raise at the expense
[00:06:10] of others. But digital transformation
[00:06:14] prevents
[00:06:16] that. Therefore, it is incumbent
[00:06:20] upon us to support this great
[00:06:23] project, and the Bayan platform
[00:06:25] is not just a digital system for managing
[00:06:29] employees, but rather it constitutes the first building
[00:06:32] block in the journey of rebuilding institutions and modernizing the government
[00:06:36] work environment.
[00:06:40] The National Auditor of the Republic of Sudan,
[00:06:43] Maulana Salahuddin Mohammed Othman Abdul Rahman, praised the financial
[00:06:47] report of the Ministry of Interior and the Police Forces Headquarters,
[00:06:50] which was prepared by the Financial Affairs Authority headed by Police Lieutenant
[00:06:54] General Abdul Moneim Mohammed Abdul Qayyum. This came during
[00:06:57] a reception ceremony for the National Auditor and the leaders of the Bureau
[00:07:00] returning to Khartoum, in the presence of the Governor of Khartoum State,
[00:07:04] Mr. Ahmed Othman Hamza. The National Auditor affirmed the delivery
[00:07:07] of the report to the President of the Sovereignty Council, praising
[00:07:11] the effort put into its preparation,
[00:07:14] and the discipline and professionalism with which the Financial Affairs
[00:07:18] presented it in an excellent manner.
[00:07:23] Within the framework of the return of state institutions to their headquarters in the national capital, Khartoum,
[00:07:27] the General Audit Bureau celebrated the return of the General Auditor,
[00:07:30] Mr. Salah Ahmed Othman, and the Bureau's administration from the temporary administrative
[00:07:33] capital, Port Sudan, to Khartoum. The relaunch program was witnessed
[00:07:37] by the Governor of Khartoum, Mr. Ahmed Othman Hamza, and the representative of the Sudanese Police,
[00:07:41] Police Lieutenant General Al-Sanousi Abdullah, head of the Financial Affairs Authority.
[00:07:44] The General Auditor thanked the President of the Sovereignty Council for
[00:07:47] what he provided to the Bureau during
[00:07:51] of the Bureau's work and to all those who provided support so that it could fulfill its full roles
[00:07:54] in accordance with the law and without political interference,
[00:07:58] referring to the work of rehabilitating the alternative headquarters to which the Bureau
[00:08:02] will move soon. My dear Governor, people have trained
[00:08:05] a very large number of employees, and our sisters
[00:08:09] here, the trainers, are now present among us, and now there
[00:08:12] is a course that will take place next Sunday, God willing, in Dongola.
[00:08:18] officers, non-commissioned officers, and auxiliary
[00:08:21] cadres, so we told the employees in the state that they can
[00:08:24] attend this course so that
[00:08:27] people can benefit from it. There was a course in White Nile
[00:08:30] and a course in Khartoum here, and courses, God willing,
[00:08:34] because the Bureau's role
[00:08:36] is to transfer its expertise to the agencies
[00:08:40] subject to control. The Governor of Khartoum affirmed his happiness with the return
[00:08:44] of the Bureau, like other state institutions, to its headquarters in Khartoum, which represents
[00:08:47] a real addition to completing the state's cycles of work with all the components
[00:08:51] that have moved to Khartoum, from the Sovereignty Council and the Council of Ministers,
[00:08:55] and the executive, security, judicial, prosecutorial,
[00:08:58] economic, and audit
[00:09:01] specializations. We, with this
[00:09:04] war, affirm the necessity of the auditor's
[00:09:08] role and that all documents
[00:09:11] and existing
[00:09:14] Otherwise, there are many things that require
[00:09:17] the formation of committees, and the auditor has begun
[00:09:20] forming committees to address
[00:09:23] the imbalances that may have occurred here and there. The Director of the Bureau, Dr.
[00:09:27] Taher Bashir, said that the Bureau has been present during the war
[00:09:30] and continues to perform its duties with diligence and responsibility,
[00:09:34] and promised that performance will continue throughout the country, especially
[00:09:38] in Khartoum State, and said that the work is moving from good to better,
[00:09:42] and it has managed to transfer its operations to Khartoum, preparing the environment
[00:09:45] for the work of the auditors. Oh, Mr. General Auditor,
[00:09:49] they will offer everything precious for the advancement of the Bureau and will not
[00:09:53] shy away from working in the Bureau, God willing. And just as they offered during the war,
[00:09:56] they will offer during peace, God willing. We thank the auditors spread throughout
[00:09:59] Sudan in the safe states, in Khartoum, and in the administrative capital, Port Sudan, previously. All auditors worked day
[00:10:03] and night for this work, and God willing, it will be in the balance of good deeds for the auditors.
[00:10:06] We thank the General Auditor, and everyone is ready, God willing. The return of the General Auditor
[00:10:10] to Khartoum is a great addition to the return of state
[00:10:14] institutions and units to resume their duties from the national
[00:10:17] capital, Khartoum, and a support for stability
[00:10:27] The Arab Organization for Agricultural Development launched a capacity-building
[00:10:32] sector in Sudan in the presence of the Ministers of Agriculture
[00:10:36] and Irrigation and Livestock and Fisheries. The Director
[00:10:39] General of the Organization, Professor Ibrahim El-Dukheiry,
[00:10:43] affirmed that the program coincides with the return of the organization
[00:10:46] to its main headquarters in Khartoum and aims to support
[00:10:50] the rehabilitation of the agricultural sector and address the effects
[00:10:53] of the war by enhancing The Minister of Agriculture
[00:10:57] and Irrigation, Professor Esmat Qurashi, praised
[00:11:01] the organization's role in supporting agricultural reconstruction,
[00:11:04] affirming work to develop value chains, increase
[00:11:07] production and productivity, and digital transformation.
[00:11:11] Meanwhile, the Minister of Livestock and Fisheries, Dr. Ahmed
[00:11:14] Al-Tajani Al-Mansouri, affirmed continued cooperation
[00:11:17] to implement training programs targeting
[00:11:19] the rehabilitation of cadres and productive families
[00:11:22] in the states of Sudan. He knows
[00:11:26] that if this sector takes off, the Sudanese economy will recover
[00:11:30] at a rapid pace. And if this agricultural
[00:11:33] sector fails, the Sudanese economic
[00:11:36] sector will be faltering. Therefore, everyone
[00:11:40] knows the importance of this agricultural sector, and it was
[00:11:43] incumbent upon us, as experts
[00:11:47] and those entrusted
[00:11:52] broad agricultural sector, not only in Sudan
[00:11:55] but also in the 22 Arab
[00:11:59] Sudan as long as Sudan extends its hand
[00:12:04] regard. And we hope that
[00:12:07] we will cooperate with the organization so that we can
[00:12:11] succeed in these initiatives. Some people even asked for simple things.
[00:12:14] For example, some schools said we must pay for electricity.
[00:12:18] This is not a big deal. It means enhancing
[00:12:21] exports and opening new markets, and
[00:12:25] special programs for digital transformation and special programs
[00:12:29] for localization
[00:12:32] of seed production in Sudan and a number of projects
[00:12:35] that will see the light soon, God willing.
[00:12:38] The efforts exerted by the Arab
[00:12:41] Organization, the true partner, and I always say
[00:12:44] that it is the most capable and worthy partner to support
[00:12:48] the advancement and recovery
[00:12:52] Sudan.
[00:12:55] Khartoum State assured citizens of the continued availability
[00:12:58] of water and electricity services despite the suspension
[00:13:01] of electricity supply from the Merowe Dam,
[00:13:04] affirming the adoption of urgent measures to secure essential
[00:13:07] services. The meeting of the Supreme Emergency and Crisis Management
[00:13:11] Committee, headed by Khartoum Governor Ahmed Othman Hamza,
[00:13:16] fuel reserve to operate 13 Nile water
[00:13:19] stations, in addition to securing fuel for wells and ensuring
[00:13:23] continuous independent electricity supply for water
[00:13:26] stations, hospitals, and strategic
[00:13:29] sites. The meeting directed addressing the situation
[00:13:33] of water scarcity areas in a fair manner
[00:13:36] and accelerating preparations for the autumn season, including
[00:13:40] combating disease vectors, removing waste accumulations,
[00:13:43] and providing emergency needs. The Roads and Bridges
[00:13:47] Authority confirmed that the work of cleaning storm drains
[00:13:50] reached 90% and strengthening Nile embankments
[00:13:54] 80%, while the Water Authority revealed
[00:13:57] the existence of more than two thousand wells in the state and more
[00:14:01] than 120 wells under construction, stating the state's
[00:14:03] need for
[00:14:05] 440 new
[00:14:08] wells. The Governor of Khartoum, Ahmed Othman Hamza, and the Federal
[00:14:12] Minister of Health, Dr. Haitham Mohammed Ibrahim, and the Ambassador
[00:14:15] of the State of Qatar to Sudan, Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Sada, participated
[00:14:19] in launching the cochlear implant camp for children
[00:14:22] with hearing loss at Doha Hospital in Khartoum,
[00:14:26] within a joint program between the Patients
[00:14:30] Aid Fund and Qatar Charity. The Governor
[00:14:33] of Khartoum praised Qatar's continuous
[00:14:37] especially in the health sector, affirming that the initiative
[00:14:41] contributes to restoring specialized medical services
[00:14:44] and alleviating the suffering of citizens. For his part,
[00:14:47] the Federal Minister of Health explained that the camp
[00:14:51] represents an important step towards localizing precise
[00:14:55] Meanwhile, the Qatari Ambassador affirmed his country's continued
[00:14:58] support for Sudan, especially in the health sector, which enhances
[00:15:02] the humanitarian partnership between the two countries.
[00:15:05] Indeed, the need is great. The country needs
[00:15:08] your white hands in Sudan
[00:15:11] and in the region, not only this, but this hospital since
[00:15:15] its establishment, and also
[00:15:22] the Qatari Red Crescent, or direct, significant direct support
[00:15:26] from the Qatar Fund for Development. Despite
[00:15:29] the events in Qatar, and despite the difficulties in Qatar
[00:15:33] currently, there is a sea bridge of equipment, tools, and medicines coming
[00:15:36] to Sudan now. Now,
[00:15:39] we are always pleased with such
[00:15:42] actions that serve the citizens of Khartoum
[00:15:45] State, whom the war
[00:15:48] important and necessary
[00:15:52] services, and who endured the hardships
[00:15:54] of travel, whether inside Sudan or outside Sudan.
[00:15:58] But with the return of security and stability to Khartoum
[00:16:02] State, these institutions have returned. We
[00:16:05] thank you for this work. We assure you of the support
[00:16:09] of the Government of Khartoum State in facilitating
[00:16:13] your tasks as you serve and provide
[00:16:16] services to the citizens of this state. As a continuation of the commitment
[00:16:21] its brethren in Sudan and to complete this
[00:16:24] journey, we have started several medical campaigns
[00:16:27] and medical camps that began in various
[00:16:31] parts of Sudan and in several states, and included more than
[00:16:34] one sector, including urology and congenital anomalies.
[00:16:37] And today we are launching, with our brothers in Qatar
[00:16:41] Charity,
[00:16:44] implant operation, which is one
[00:16:47] of the specialized operations, we can say,
[00:16:51] the electronic cochlear implant for children, and it is one of the rare
[00:16:54] operations. We hope, God willing, that it will bring healing, God willing,
[00:16:58] children suffering from this
[00:17:01] ailment.
[00:17:16] The ninth evening news exhibition from Sudan TV
[00:17:19] reveals harsh chapters of militia
[00:17:23] violations, after it left behind a city
[00:17:26] ravaged by looting and destruction,
[00:17:29] and infrastructure that was damaged,
[00:17:33] and vital facilities out
[00:17:36] that embodies the cost of war on humans and places.
[00:17:39] The city of Bara, located in the heart of North
[00:17:43] Kordofan State, is one of its most
[00:17:46] volatile fronts. Over months, it witnessed
[00:17:49] rounds of ebb and flow, and control
[00:17:52] over it changed more than once, while
[00:17:56] citizens paid the highest price in displacement,
[00:17:59] fear, loss, and destruction of their homes
[00:18:01] and livelihoods. After the armed forces
[00:18:05] and their supporting forces
[00:18:07] established control over the city and expanded the scope
[00:18:11] of their security in its surroundings, Bara appears to have emerged
[00:18:14] from the direct confrontation zone to begin
[00:18:18] other confrontations with the effects of the war
[00:18:21] left by the Dagalo militia. The destruction here needs
[00:18:25] little explanation. Entire neighborhoods have lost their features,
[00:18:28] and houses have turned into silent skeletons.
[00:18:32] Civilian vehicles scattered among
[00:18:35] the rubble are a witness to widespread looting and destruction
[00:18:41] all the claims propagated by the militia about protecting
[00:18:45] civilians and their property.
[00:18:49] The effects of the war were not limited to urban areas, but
[00:18:52] extended to the very arteries of life itself.
[00:18:55] Hospitals are out of service, schools have closed
[00:18:59] their doors, and markets have stagnated, while
[00:19:03] communication networks have suffered significant
[00:19:06] We have arrived to see the extent of the damage, and الحمد لله (Praise be to God)
[00:19:10] in any case, the sites are completely destroyed. Bara is a scene
[00:19:13] of violations and comprehensive destruction. All our
[00:19:16] sites are destroyed in all parts. Even
[00:19:20] the towers from top to bottom, all equipment is completely
[00:19:24] destroyed. So, God willing, we will try to restore
[00:19:27] services to the city as soon as possible.
[00:19:30] The city endured long periods of isolation
[00:19:34] imposed by the war, which exacerbated the suffering of its residents.
[00:19:38] الحمد لله (Praise be to God), we welcome Bara's return to the homeland,
[00:19:41] and we reassure the Sudanese people that, God willing, all the fallen
[00:19:45] states will return soon, God willing, even Al-Daien, God willing,
[00:19:48] will return to the homeland. Bara
[00:19:51] has suffered violations, destruction, and devastation.
[00:19:55] With the recapture of Bara, the scene is not just
[00:19:59] a military advance, but a pivotal turning point in
[00:20:02] the battle to reclaim North Kordofan, and the beginning
[00:20:06] of a stage in which the city looks
[00:20:09] forward to healing its wounds. Amidst the rubble of buildings and the traces
[00:20:13] of battles, residents hope that this time
[00:20:17] will mark the beginning of rebuilding the city
[00:20:20] to become better than it was before
[00:20:24] the war.
[00:20:27] Efforts are continuing in Khartoum to clear neighborhoods
[00:20:31] and roads of the remnants of war,
[00:20:33] where mine clearance experts from JASSMAR
[00:20:37] Humanitarian Security are continuing survey and clearance
[00:20:41] operations in coordination with the National Mine Action Center and international
[00:20:44] partners. We have the golden
[00:20:48] rule, known to all. Over 23
[00:20:51] years, Adam Mustafa has been accustomed to starting his day by searching
[00:20:55] for a danger that others do not see. He advances
[00:20:58] with calculated steps, knowing that one mistake
[00:21:02] could cost a human life. For
[00:21:06] the war does not end
[00:21:10] but continues in unexploded ordnance that remains hidden
[00:21:13] among houses and fields
[00:21:16] and on roads. The higher the training
[00:21:19] and the higher the doses, the more you are on the safe side, meaning
[00:21:24] this field, meaning honestly, there is no danger,
[00:21:27] as long as you receive excellent training and follow
[00:21:31] the steps, meaning it's very normal, there is nothing.
[00:21:35] So when you complete a task at this level and then
[00:21:39] relax, you know that you have completed tasks and removed a danger, and this was
[00:21:43] very beautiful. This task, to which Adam Mustafa dedicated
[00:21:47] more than two decades of his life, represents a part of broader
[00:21:50] national efforts in coordination with the National
[00:21:53] Mine Action Center and with the support of the United
[00:21:57] Nations Mine Action Service and international partners
[00:22:00] to remove unexploded ordnance and reduce its risks
[00:22:04] in areas affected by the war. We worked before
[00:22:07] the funded projects, the projects
[00:22:10] funded by SHF
[00:22:13] UNMAS. Before that, there was no funding for mine
[00:22:17] clearance work. So the National
[00:22:20] Mine Action Center took it upon itself
[00:22:24] to gather some technicians, and we worked
[00:22:28] as a national project here in the Majarin area. During a field
[00:22:31] tour, the Dutch Ambassador to Sudan reviewed the progress
[00:22:35] of survey and clearance operations and was briefed on the work
[00:22:38] accomplished, which aims to secure neighborhoods, roads, and public
[00:22:41] facilities in line with the return of normal life.
[00:22:44] We were honored today by a kind
[00:22:47] visit from Mr.
[00:22:50] the Ambassador of the Netherlands in Khartoum, where he
[00:22:54] visited the Majarin area and observed the effects
[00:22:57] of war remnants. The Kingdom of the Netherlands is one of the countries
[00:23:01] supporting the mine clearance
[00:23:03] program and the removal
