[00:00:00] There are two laboratories
[00:00:04] and they informed us about Yes, our communication continues with for vaccine production, namely Soba Laboratory and Nyala
[00:00:08] Resources. Our brothers in Laboratory, and both were completely destroyed. It may take
[00:00:12] three years before
[00:00:14] Thank God, we have finished livestock are vaccinated
[00:00:16] due to the lack of vaccines
[00:00:19] and serums. Is the lack
[00:00:22] serums, import them from only in East Darfur state or in all of Sudan, sir? All of Sudan. Yes, in all
[00:00:26] of Sudan. This has had a significant impact.
[00:00:30] If we link this to
[00:00:33] this month, animal production, in order to export, the importing entity
[00:00:38] another batch of must be assured that these are free from diseases and so on.
[00:00:42] This is also one of the negative indicators, but
[00:00:46] today, after a long period
[00:00:46] of Darfur. This despite that, there were considerable efforts by the state
[00:00:49] government in coordination with our brothers
[00:00:52] more than 4,000 students are taking exams in the Ministry of Animal Resources and also the FAO
[00:00:54] organization. Vaccines were imported
[00:00:58] from South Africa and brought
[00:01:01] into the state through the entry point of Chad
[00:01:04] and the Adré entry point.
[00:01:07] We received about
[00:01:10] our efforts and our communication with 1,914,000 doses. This is nothing,
[00:01:12] more than 1 ton, which of course, compared to the size
[00:01:15] of our staff in of the herd. The size of the herd in East Darfur is 40 million heads, representing
[00:01:18] 20% of the herd in Sudan.
[00:01:22] This is one of the major obstacles.
[00:01:25] We have veterinary control
[00:01:28] points. Two points here are
[00:01:32] like a checkpoint for our livestock entry. Our livestock takes about six months in the state
[00:01:35] of South Darfur.
[00:01:39] With our overlap with the state of South Sudan,
[00:01:43] we don't guarantee the safety of the herd when it returns
[00:01:47] 20% of from the south.
[00:01:49] the animal resources in Sudan. This We established a point, yes. So, these points have also
[00:01:51] stopped throughout the three years of war.
[00:01:54] This is perhaps one of the very big
[00:01:58] problems we faced in this period.
[00:02:02] In addition to that, local laboratories,
[00:02:04] so that doctors can examine
[00:02:08] and analyze
[00:02:10] Jawazeh station. This diseases and diagnose them, is better than before. these laboratories have been destroyed.
[00:02:11] the university, more than Many
[00:02:14] veterinary cadres have migrated outside the state
[00:02:18] We rely heavily on this due to the security situation. They came to safe areas, and some of them went
[00:02:21] outside Sudan. This has also created a crisis there
[00:02:25] in the region. Well, Mr. Ahmad Abu
[00:02:28] Kalam, when you talk about
[00:02:32] are causing traffic in this state, where animal resources constitute 20% of
[00:02:34] Sudan, this immediately brings us to a question
[00:02:38] about exports and the efforts that you are supposed to make, if they
[00:02:42] Savannah Development Authority project. This are not already in place, specifically
[00:02:44] to prepare
[00:02:47] these animal resources for export
[00:02:50] as one of the sources of hard currency
[00:02:54] for Sudan, and Sudan is known to be a country of animal resources. But when
[00:02:57] we go inside Sudan, we find that the largest part of the animal
[00:03:00] resources is in East Darfur state.
[00:03:04] Yes. One of the major efforts
[00:03:08] made by the state government before the war was to assist
[00:03:11] in the rehabilitation and development of Al-Dayeen Airport, given
[00:03:15] that it could be used for
[00:03:18] exports. This is if we can
[00:03:22] establish modern slaughterhouses. This is one of the
[00:03:25] steps that the state is seriously working on
[00:03:29] and we have made great progress in the airport matter. The
[00:03:32] runway was 1500 meters long, and it was
[00:03:36] extended to 3000 meters.
[00:03:39] Also, all the necessary facilities were provided to make it a suitable
[00:03:43] airport. However, this great effort
[00:03:46] was interrupted by the outbreak of war. There is
[00:03:49] a veterinary quarantine.
[00:03:52] The quarantine has made progress with state
[00:03:56] and federal support, but all these projects have stopped
[00:04:00] due to the war circumstances. Yes. Well,
[00:04:04] sir, East Darfur state is one of
[00:04:09] situation in the states that has these animal resources in such large numbers, representing
[00:04:12] 20% as you mentioned, and it also
[00:04:15] has 14 million feddans
[00:04:18] suitable for agriculture. This is
[00:04:21] East Darfur. East Darfur with this large volume of animal
[00:04:25] resources and agriculture always puts us in
[00:04:28] contact that should be present
[00:04:32] between the federal Ministry of Agriculture
[00:04:35] and the Ministry of Animal Resources. And you now represent
[00:04:38] both sides, and you have a definite strong connection
[00:04:42] due to your responsibility with the federal Ministry of Animal Resources
[00:04:45] and the federal Ministry of Agriculture. And from here, we greet Professor Mansouri and
[00:04:48] Professor Esmat Ghurshi,
[00:04:51] the Minister of Animal Resources and the Minister
[00:04:54] of Agriculture. I believe that this communication should
[00:04:58] lead
[00:05:01] that was severely to vaccinating these livestock urgently. You just
[00:05:05] The damage was mentioned that the number of vaccines that entered East
[00:05:09] avenues that concern us in Darfur state represents only about 20% of what is needed.
[00:05:15] the two federal ministries, the Ministry of Agriculture
[00:05:18] and the Ministry of Animal Animal Resources, and last
[00:05:22] with our brother the Undersecretary of the Ministry, and
[00:05:25] before that, our brother the Minister of Agriculture, are making
[00:05:28] efforts now
[00:05:31] to provide new
[00:05:35] abroad, and deliver them,
[00:05:37] of course, through the Chad entry point. There
[00:05:41] are efforts that we expect, within
[00:05:45] before its end, God willing,
[00:05:51] serums will arrive to vaccinate the herd
[00:05:54] in East Darfur. As for our communication with the federal Ministry
[00:05:57] of Agriculture, perhaps in the past few days, we attended
[00:06:01] all the meetings called by the ministry in preparation
[00:06:05] for the summer agricultural season. Yes. And
[00:06:08] we participated. Our efforts now are outside
[00:06:12] the production circle, considering that
[00:06:16] the state is still under the control of the Rapid Support
[00:06:19] Forces. But
[00:06:22] the federal ministry are focused on building and enhancing the capabilities
[00:06:27] safe areas. Yes, in Khartoum state and other
[00:06:31] states, as well as
[00:06:34] working on a partnership. We signed
[00:06:37] a partnership agreement with our brothers in the Ministry of Agriculture in Al Qadarif. Yes.
[00:06:41] And this memorandum,
[00:06:44] through which we were granted an area of 1500 feddans in
[00:06:48] the Simsim area. The goal of this area is to be
[00:06:51] used for seed production, considering
[00:06:55] that we are preparing for the stage after
[00:06:58] the war. In our estimation, one of the major
[00:07:01] challenges we face is the need
[00:07:04] of farmers who for three or four years have not
[00:07:08] received any improved seeds or seedlings.
[00:07:11] So, this area now, we planted a thousand
[00:07:14] feddans. We planted it all with seeds.
[00:07:18] Now, we
[00:07:20] are
[00:07:23] in the germination stage. The seeds and
[00:07:27] we hope, God willing, if God wills that the season
[00:07:30] turns out well, we will have a considerable harvest of
[00:07:34] seeds that will give us a reassuring
[00:07:37] stock, so that after liberation, we are ready.
[00:07:41] Ready for
[00:07:43] training. The Ministry of Agriculture, may God reward them, gave us an
[00:07:47] opportunity to train our officials at the local
[00:07:49] level. Here, perhaps more than six
[00:07:52] courses, and our brothers in the Arab Organization for Agricultural
[00:07:56] Development, may God reward them, also contributed with us
[00:07:58] in the conditions of Al-Dakhiri, a large part
[00:08:02] of the funding for these courses.
[00:08:05] They even gave us a scholarship for one of our staff
[00:08:08] in Syria. We sent them with funding
[00:08:13] and all expenses covered by the Arab Organization. From here, we
[00:08:16] express our thanks and appreciation to our brothers in
[00:08:20] the federal Ministry of Agriculture, Dr.
[00:08:23] Esmat and Dr. Fatima, as well as Professor Al-Dakhiri, who
[00:08:26] stood with us in these circumstances. Also,
[00:08:29] we signed a memorandum of understanding with the Agricultural
[00:08:33] Research, our brother Professor Abu Asaar,
[00:08:37] within the framework that we consider research to be the
[00:08:40] technical arm of the ministry.
[00:08:42] Therefore, the next stage requires that
[00:08:45] your cadres be qualified and ready, because
[00:08:49] the stage we are approaching is a reconstruction stage. Yes, and this
[00:08:53] requires great effort from people with experience
[00:08:56] and experience. So, within the framework of this partnership, God
[00:09:00] willing, we hope to benefit greatly
[00:09:03] from it, especially since we have an agricultural
[00:09:06] research station, and our brothers in agricultural research, may God reward them,
[00:09:10] sent their director to Malaysia
[00:09:13] for his doctorate.
[00:09:16] We expect, God willing, after liberation,
[00:09:20] our rhythm will change greatly, God willing. Yes. Well, sir,
[00:09:23] the esteemed expert Ahmed Mohamed Abu Kalam, Minister
[00:09:27] of Agriculture and Animal Resources, these preparations
[00:09:30] from a general perspective, I believe are technical, but
[00:09:33] there must also be financial
[00:09:36] and financial preparations. And it is known that agriculture can be expensive, but it is
[00:09:40] also profitable. I believe a very important aspect
[00:09:43] is the relationships that can exist between
[00:09:46] the ministry or the state and the private sector
[00:09:50] and organizations supporting the agricultural
[00:09:52] sector. We were, perhaps two
[00:09:55] weeks ago, in a meeting with our brothers in
[00:09:59] the Companies Department of the Federal Ministry of Finance.
[00:10:02] We met them in Port Sudan, and
[00:10:06] in our estimation, we sought to open
[00:10:10] a window with them
[00:10:13] because they have, in the context
[00:10:17] of partnerships, many
[00:10:21] both the private sector and the public sector, and...
[00:10:26] We attended a workshop with them
[00:10:29] their activity and what they
[00:10:32] do and their law. And we
[00:10:36] are very optimistic that in the coming stage, the private
[00:10:39] sector will play an active role, especially since we in
[00:10:42] East Darfur have a private sector that has
[00:10:45] a very great activity in the agricultural sector.
[00:10:47] For example, the Darfood
[00:10:50] factory. Darfood is a partnership
[00:10:55] between Sudan, the Netherlands, and France, which has contributed
[00:10:58] greatly to improving
[00:11:02] the prices of fava beans. And fava beans are,
[00:11:05] of course, one of the cash crops for farmers in the north
[00:11:11] factory, its presence had a great contribution to
[00:11:14] improving
[00:11:17] the prices of fava beans. And we are optimistic
[00:11:20] that many parties will come with us, the international
[00:11:24] organizations.
[00:11:26] For example, the FAO organization, which has very active participations
[00:11:30] with us. It has provided us with considerable quantities
[00:11:34] of seeds,
[00:11:37] was delivered last year to the state. And now also,
[00:11:41] they have partnerships with us in the field of providing
[00:11:45] serums for animal resources, and in the field of providing
[00:11:48] seeds and agricultural inputs for the state, God
[00:11:51] willing. Yes. Well, Mr. Minister, the world is moving
[00:11:55] towards a large number. There might be a country
[00:11:58] with a very large animal resource, but it is keen
[00:12:02] on improving breeds. And I am now
[00:12:05] talking to a minister of animal
[00:12:09] resources in a state that represents
[00:12:14] question should be present about the efforts regarding
[00:12:17] breed improvement in East Darfur state.
[00:12:21] East Darfur is perhaps one of the very
[00:12:25] states that has the largest center
[00:12:28] for livestock breed improvement, established since
[00:12:31] the 1950s, and the Ghazala
[00:12:35] center focuses on improving livestock
[00:12:38] breeds and developing pastures.
[00:12:43] station, the Ghazala
[00:12:46] Jawazeh station, which before the war
[00:12:49] contributed significantly to introducing breeds. It is known that
[00:12:53] the breed of livestock found in East
[00:12:56] Darfur is of the Zebu
[00:12:58] species. We sought at one stage
[00:13:02] through projects, there was a project called the Western
[00:13:07] project also contributed greatly to introducing
[00:13:11] and improving livestock breeds, whether
[00:13:14] cattle or goats,
[00:13:16] and so on. Also, Al-Dayeen
[00:13:20] University established the College of Animal Production.
[00:13:23] Yes, these are also the entities that are relied upon to
[00:13:27] contribute with us to developing livestock
[00:13:30] breeds. And we also have contacts with our brothers in the Turkish
[00:13:34] TIKA organization, who also
[00:13:38] have many aids in the field of improving livestock breeds, God
[00:13:42] willing. Yes. Thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Minister of Animal
[00:13:45] Resources and Agriculture, Ahmed Mohamed Abu Kalam, of East
[00:13:49] Darfur state. We were reassured through you about the animal
[00:13:52] and agricultural resources in East Darfur state, which
[00:13:55] means we gained important information from you: 14
[00:13:59] million feddans suitable for agriculture in this state, animal resources representing
[00:14:03] 20% of the animal resources in Sudan. Thank you very much for being
[00:14:06] a distinguished guest on today's episode of "Pulse of the Nation". Thank you very
[00:14:10] much. Thank you all, and thank you to our national television.
[00:14:13] I would like to send a message to our armed forces,
[00:14:15] who are achieving great and resounding victories in these
[00:14:19] days. We ask God Almighty for help and success, and to
[00:14:22] see East Darfur free
[00:14:26] and returned to the embrace of the homeland, God willing. Yes. Greetings to you, thank you very much,
[00:14:30] and greetings through you to our armed forces and to the esteemed Governor,
[00:14:33] the mujahid Sheikh Mohammed Adam Abdul Rahman, Governor of East
[00:14:37] Darfur state. Greetings to you, stay with us through this pulse, the pulse
[00:14:40] of the nation. And after this break, we will continue with you today's episode
[00:14:44] of "Pulse
[00:14:45] of the Nation".
[00:18:01] generations to lead Sudan. These students and pupils we see every
[00:18:05] morning in Khartoum
[00:18:09] the streets. The word "traffic" here I mean the great return
[00:18:13] of students and pupils, which
[00:18:16] reflects a positive and very
[00:18:19] beautiful image that this movement confirms the calm of Khartoum,
[00:18:23] and this movement confirms the return of schools and the return
[00:18:26] of various educational stages to Khartoum,
[00:18:30] and the return of educational life, and the return of schools,
[00:18:33] and the return of universities as well, as we have seen
[00:18:37] a number of universities returning. Students
[00:18:41] have returned to them, and they have returned to being present in
[00:18:44] their universities and in study halls. This confirms that
[00:18:48] this Khartoum is now
[00:18:51] an attractive city, and these students in all universities
[00:18:55] are keen to receive education and knowledge from their
[00:18:58] main universities that existed before the war. And the war period was a period
[00:19:02] that forced people, but now they have returned to Khartoum and have begun
[00:19:05] to practice their normal activities and receive their education in their
[00:19:09] various universities. Special greetings to every university that has organized a reception, just like
[00:19:13] in the past, when people used to organize receptions for new students. The university organized a reception
[00:19:16] for all stages, meaning
[00:19:19] first year, second year, third year, fourth year. They organized many programs to welcome
[00:19:22] students and celebrate the liberation of Khartoum
[00:19:26] and the return of students to the university. One of the universities that
[00:19:29] also did a great job that we
[00:19:32] will witness. Greetings to them, Al-Nasser University, which was previously Al-Nasser
[00:19:36] College, known at the time as Al-Nasser College. But this university,
[00:19:39] this college, has now become,
[00:19:43] due to this development, these years, and these extensive experiences, a
[00:19:46] university, and it has become a university that keeps pace with events in Khartoum state.
[00:20:00] Ashraf
[00:20:01] Tadia
[00:20:04] has risen, shining brightly.
[00:20:30] Amin Al-Shu'oun Al-Ilmiya, Al-Nasser University.
[00:20:34] Al-Nasser University is one of the higher education institutions
[00:20:39] damaged by the war.
[00:20:42] to the infrastructure, laboratories, and buildings. Thank
[00:20:46] God, with His grace and the university's strong will,
[00:20:50] the university returned to its normal state by carrying out
[00:20:53] maintenance, infrastructure, laboratories, and
[00:20:57] faculty. Thank God, the university has returned,
[00:21:00] and now it performs its mission smoothly.
[00:21:04] And the staff also returned, and the deans,
[00:21:08] and the university is now stable. The university
[00:21:10] returned almost a year ago, and all
[00:21:14] students are attending their theoretical
[00:21:17] lectures at the university and in the laboratories. All practical
[00:21:21] laboratories are at the university. Thank God,
[00:21:24] we have installed solar power at the university, and all
[00:21:28] infrastructure is now available
[00:21:31] to students. And students, we have now finished
[00:21:34] the first semester for batches 23 and 24, affected by the war.
[00:21:38] Thank God, now
[00:21:42] at the university. This is a message to everyone, because
[00:21:45] now one of the higher education institutions, Al-Nasser University,
[00:21:48] Al-Nasser is performing its educational
[00:21:52] and academic work from inside
[00:21:54] Omdurman better than
[00:21:58] before the war, and praise be to God. Al-Nasser University is a
[00:22:01] very ancient institution and has almost very large colleges.
[00:22:05] It has the College of Medicine, the College of Nursing
[00:22:09] and Laboratories, the College of Administrative
[00:22:12] Sciences and Computer Science, and Engineering:
[00:22:15] Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Architecture, in addition
[00:22:18] to diplomas. And also, we have programs or
[00:22:21] postgraduate colleges. We have Project Engineering
[00:22:25] and Computer Engineering master's degrees
[00:22:28] and master's degrees in Administrative Sciences and a higher diploma. The library,
[00:22:31] we have a paper library and an electronic library.
[00:22:34] And the library, thank God, has all the references available, and we also
[00:22:38] have the electronic library. Al-Nasser University hosted
[00:22:42] some Sudanese universities and private colleges
[00:22:45] in its laboratories. I would like, God willing, to send
[00:22:49] a message to all parents, to reassure them outside
[00:22:52] Sudan that the situation has truly returned
[00:22:56] to normal, and the country, thank God,
[00:22:59] And now, our students at 95% of
[00:23:03] them are now attending classes and taking exams in the university buildings.
[00:23:07] And as you can see, I am calling on all parents outside
[00:23:10] Sudan to come back, and the country, by God, welcomes them, and things
[00:23:14] have gone in an excellent way. Yes, the war was harsh and difficult,
[00:23:17] but we learned lessons from it and, God willing, it will
[00:23:20] be a strong impetus for development
[00:23:46] You have completed your work, and God willing, you will enter the theoretical exams.
[00:23:58] Respect all examination rules, and God willing, good luck, God
[00:24:01] willing.
[00:24:28] Ahmed El Sheikh, Department of Architecture, Al-Nasser
[00:24:30] University. I am a lecturer in the Department
[00:24:34] of Architecture, and thank God, we returned after a long
[00:24:38] absence, and the situation is much
[00:24:41] better than I imagined. Thank God, the class is full,
[00:24:45] the students have returned, studies are stable,
[00:24:49] and thank God, the number of students is increasing. They are returning
[00:24:52] to the country, and the professors too, praise be to God.

[00:25:20] Technical University. Thank God,
[00:25:23] lectures have finished, and the academic
[00:25:26] year has currently ended. We are taking
[00:25:30] exams, and thank God, the situation is stable,
[00:25:33] and the university environment is
[00:25:37] suitable for studying.
[00:25:41] Thank God, student Yusri El-Amina Obed, College of
[00:25:44] Nursing, Level One, Batch
[00:25:47] 23. Thank God, the country is stable,
[00:25:50] and since we started in November last year, we haven't stopped at all,
