[00:09:05] Ambassador Badr El-Din Abdullah Mohamed, Ambassador of the Republic
[00:09:08] of Sudan to the State of Qatar, gave a press briefing
[00:09:11] at the Embassy headquarters in Doha in the presence of an elite group
[00:09:15] of media institution representatives and a number of journalists
[00:09:18] and media professionals residing in the State of Qatar. This briefing
[00:09:22] comes within the framework of the directives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:09:25] and the Embassy's efforts to intensify communication with the media
[00:09:28] and inform public opinion on the latest political,
[00:09:32] field, and humanitarian developments in Sudan
[00:09:35] and to provide documented information
[00:09:39] the country. Ambassador Badr El-Din Abdullah highlighted the importance
[00:09:43] of the role played by professional media
[00:09:46] in conveying facts with credibility
[00:09:50] and objectivity. He also praised the supportive positions of the State
[00:09:53] of Qatar towards Sudan and the humanitarian
[00:09:56] and development aid it has provided
[00:09:59] at various
[00:10:02] stages. Regional and international alliances
[00:10:05] led to a violent tremor that affected all state institutions,
[00:10:09] its basic infrastructure, the Sudanese society, and achievements
[00:10:12] over decades in a systematic manner, which led
[00:10:16] to widespread destruction in all parts of the country and to a process
[00:10:19] of displacement and asylum described by international organizations as
[00:10:23] the largest in the history of conflicts. In the midst of intentional media
[00:10:26] disregard, but thanks to God and His grace, and then
[00:10:29] the efforts, then the efforts
[00:10:33] of our valiant army, its wisdom, and the wisdom of its leadership, and the support
[00:10:37] of all sectors of the Sudanese people, the most dangerous
[00:10:40] stages of the ordeal have been overcome, and Sudan has begun to recover
[00:10:44] and is moving with steady steps towards reconstruction
[00:10:47] and rebuilding. Sudan deserves all the support from its brothers
[00:10:50] and sisters to rise again,
[00:10:55] history, but a civilization that extends back thousands of years
[00:11:00] of interaction with its Arab and African surroundings. Peace
[00:11:03] be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
[00:11:07] On the 67th Army Day,
[00:11:10] Sudanese people write a new
[00:11:12] chapter of their story of cohesion
[00:11:16] with the armed forces and aspirations
[00:11:20] for a safe and stable homeland.
[00:11:23] Under the slogan "Victorious Army and Capable
[00:11:26] People," the 67th
[00:11:30] year while the Sudanese armed forces are fighting the
[00:11:33] Battle of Dignity, defiance, and pride.
[00:11:36] For 72 years, the Sudanese armed forces
[00:11:39] have been writing new pages of their history
[00:11:43] at a time when the country is still facing
[00:11:45] the challenges of war, according to media
[00:11:48] experts. We are now on the 72nd
[00:11:52] Army Day. We congratulate the army with our sincerest congratulations
[00:11:55] on this steadfastness and cohesion.
[00:11:58] If this war had happened in any other country, it would have
[00:12:01] fragmented it, but thanks to the army and its cohesion,
[00:12:04] strength, and the wisdom of its leadership, this
[00:12:08] led to steadfastness and standing with
[00:12:11] the people in the army. The media
[00:12:14] expert adds that what has been achieved, from his
[00:12:17] point of view, was not a result of superiority in equipment
[00:12:21] as much as it was a result of planning and tactics.
[00:12:25] And the management of the battle, which is reflected in the course
[00:12:28] of the fighting and field gains. The army
[00:12:32] has developed greatly in terms of
[00:12:35] tools, transportation, equipment, aviation,
[00:12:38] training, weapons, plans,
[00:12:41] and military strategies, thanks to the wisdom
[00:12:45] of the army leaders, the strength and cohesion of the army,
[00:12:48] and the strength and cohesion of the people and their very solid
[00:12:52] stand with the army. This gave the army a spiritual strength that achieved
[00:12:55] huge victories in various regions of Sudan,
[00:12:58] especially recently in Kordofan, as it liberates Kordofan.
[00:13:02] The 70th anniversary comes with a different
[00:13:06] flavor, preceded by sacrifices and accompanied by the hopes
[00:13:09] of Sudanese people that security, peace, and reconstruction
[00:13:13] will be the title of the next stage.
[00:13:15] The army has liberated everything, and the army
[00:13:19] is the role model, and the army is victory, and the army is the pride
[00:13:23] of Sudan. And I say,
[00:13:25] may God exalt them, not diminish them. This army
[00:13:28] is a national institution, and the army is the soul
[00:13:31] of the country, and the army is supported by neighboring
[00:13:34] countries, by great nations. Our army is a great army
[00:13:38] and has a long history in wars. Between
[00:13:42] the sound of bullets and the hope of peace,
[00:13:45] eyes are turning towards a future of security
[00:13:48] and peace. Army Day is no longer just
[00:13:51] an occasion to recall memories this year. Rather,
[00:13:55] it is a station where Sudanese people read
[00:13:59] what heroes have written on the ground of transformations during the war.
[00:14:02] Cities have regained their pulse. Markets have opened their doors,
[00:14:05] and families have returned to their homes, carrying
[00:14:09] hope after a long wait. Amani Abdel
[00:14:12] Rahman Sayed, Sudan TV, Army
[00:14:14] Day.
[00:14:31] The Minister of Religious Affairs and Endowments, Bashir
[00:14:34] Haroun Abdel Karim, affirmed that the ministry is proceeding
[00:14:37] with developing the Sudanese Hajj system through digital transformation
[00:14:41] to contribute to providing more efficient services
[00:14:44] to pilgrims, announcing the continuation of training
[00:14:48] programs for employees in the field of technology at the center and states
[00:14:51] in preparation for the Hajj season of 1448 AH.
[00:14:55] This came during the closing session of the training workshop for the Sudanese Hajj
[00:14:59] system, which was organized by the Supreme Council for Hajj
[00:15:02] and Umrah in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Transformation
[00:15:05] and Communications. The Minister said that the workshop represents
[00:15:08] the beginning of a comprehensive program
[00:15:11] to qualify managers and technical secretaries at the state
[00:15:14] and central
[00:15:15] levels.
[00:15:20] The First Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Sudan,
[00:15:23] Al-Mu'tasim Abdullah Ahmed, in the presence
[00:15:26] of the Director General of the Electronic Banking Services Company, IBS,
[00:15:30] launched the national switch services by linking
[00:15:33] the switch of Omdurman National Bank to be the first
[00:15:37] bank to be linked to the national switch as part of a plan
[00:15:40] to link all operating
[00:15:46] launch comes within the framework of the Central Bank's efforts, through its
[00:15:49] operating arm, IBS Company, to restore and operate
[00:15:53] the infrastructure of electronic payment systems
[00:15:56] and in line with the directions of the Central Bank of Sudan
[00:16:00] and its plans aimed at reactivating and developing
[00:16:04] electronic payment services in the country.
[00:16:10] The Federal Minister of Health, Dr. Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim,
[00:16:13] discussed at his office with a delegation from the graduates
[00:16:16] of the Beja tribe, headed by Dr. Issa Aali, various
[00:16:20] health issues related to the eastern state,
[00:16:23] including urgent needs. The Minister said that
[00:16:26] the ministry had previously supported the three states in the recent
[00:16:30] period with three cardiac catheters, pointing
[00:16:34] to the imminent opening of the medical city in Kassala. The Minister called
[00:16:38] for signing agreements with higher education institutions for the benefit
[00:16:41] of the health sector, which contributes to providing medical
[00:16:44] and health cadres, pledging to provide
[00:16:48] solar energy to rural hospitals.
[00:16:51] We met with the Federal Minister of Health,
[00:16:55] Dr. Issa Mohamed Ibrahim,
[00:16:57] regarding programs and activities
[00:17:00] related to our eastern states,
[00:17:04] and God willing, the Minister
[00:17:07] supported all the needs in the health
[00:17:10] sector for all eastern states.
[00:17:14] He can, he confirmed to us
[00:17:16] that, also,
[00:17:19] the construction of specialized
[00:17:22] heart hospitals in all states, in all
[00:17:26] eastern states, and now, recently,
[00:17:29] the heart catheter has arrived in Gedaref,
[00:17:32] and with that, the specialized heart hospitals
[00:17:36] are complete.
[00:17:40] The Security Affairs Coordination Committee of Khartoum State, headed by
[00:17:44] the Governor of the State, Ahmed Osman Hamza, during its periodic meeting
[00:17:47] held at the Khartoum State Traffic
[00:17:51] the great achievements of the Traffic Department in restoring
[00:17:53] the work system after the systematic destruction that affected
[00:17:57] all components of the administration, affirming
[00:18:00] that what has been achieved represents a qualitative
[00:18:04] leap in the process of rebuilding the traffic system
[00:18:08] and enhancing security and safety in the state.
[00:18:10] The Governor of Khartoum State, Ahmed
[00:18:14] Osman, reiterated the state government's support
[00:18:17] for traffic police programs and plans and its commitment
[00:18:20] to enhancing its technical and administrative capabilities
[00:18:24] to enable it to play its role in regulating traffic
[00:18:28] and ensuring vehicle safety and enforcing
[00:18:31] the law. We reassure the esteemed citizen and urge
[00:18:35] all citizens
[00:18:39] procedures at inspection points, whether they are areas subject
[00:18:43] to traffic authorities or border crossing authorities. We also note
[00:18:47] that many vehicles carrying
[00:18:49] people on top of vehicles, such as buses and Hiace vans,
[00:18:53] this is strictly prohibited, and traffic
[00:18:58] cases under any circumstances. We
[00:19:01] believe that this is a matter of violating laws at the present time, at least.
[00:19:05] May God Almighty help us.
[00:19:09] The important issue also is that today, thank God, we also discussed
[00:19:13] the issue
[00:19:15] of completing the traffic tower. The Governor of Khartoum State pledged
[00:19:19] to construct and complete the traffic tower
[00:19:23] of the architectural landmarks in Khartoum State. Its foundation stone was laid
[00:19:26] four years ago, before the war.
[00:19:29] In addition to that, the Governor of Khartoum
[00:19:33] State, Professor Ahmed Osman,
[00:19:35] and members of the Security Affairs Committee of the state inspected
[00:19:39] the traffic police headquarters, where they reviewed the latest
[00:19:42] methods adopted by the state traffic
[00:19:45] police in organizing traffic and its preventive
[00:19:48] role in combating identification
[00:19:52] documents.
[00:20:00] In a wide tour, the Governor of Khartoum, Professor Ahmed Osman Hamza,
[00:20:03] and members of the State Security Affairs Committee
[00:20:06] inspected the state traffic police headquarters, where they reviewed the work of
[00:20:10] the various departments and their technical tasks, in addition to the
[00:20:13] control room that covers a large number of the state
[00:20:17] through cameras and monitors them with the aim of traffic
[00:20:21] control and easing congestion. The governor and members
[00:20:24] of the committee also reviewed
[00:20:29] in forging search certificates, driving
[00:20:32] licenses, and identification documents.
[00:20:36] The great role played by the Traffic Police Department since an early
[00:20:39] stage in the Battle of Dignity and the steps taken
[00:20:42] by the state in using traffic technology
[00:20:48] the traffic field in the country. We have a big job
[00:20:52] in filling potholes, rehabilitating roads,
[00:20:55] rehabilitating stops, all to enable the traffic
[00:20:59] officer to do his job easily. And most
[00:21:02] importantly, our direction
[00:21:06] towards computerization and electronic work.
[00:21:09] And this is what we are doing
[00:21:11] now in this room, a control
[00:21:15] room, a command center. This is one
[00:21:18] of the very important things
[00:21:22] in traffic control. We are working
[00:21:25] extensively to improve the road network
[00:21:28] and also with the federal government, represented by
[00:21:32] the Sovereignty Council and the Council
[00:21:35] of Ministers, to restore the two
[00:21:39] important bridges: Al-Halfaya Bridge
[00:21:42] and Shambat Bridge. The presence
[00:21:46] of checkpoints in the state and activating their roles
[00:21:49] and performing their supervisory and preventive roles and the field
[00:21:52] supervisory role through surveillance cameras and according to advanced
[00:21:55] technologies and completing all buildings confirms the quality
[00:21:59] of the procedures and their speed. The more
[00:22:01] we enable technology, the less
[00:22:06] in the field. This is one of the manifestations of developed countries. You don't find
[00:22:09] police officers in the streets. You find cameras. As soon as
[00:22:13] an accident happens, the traffic car comes immediately because
[00:22:17] it prefers
[00:22:19] technology. Traffic work through the latest
[00:22:22] means and technologies represents a title
[00:22:26] of the development of police work
[00:22:29] in the country.

[00:22:35] Khartoum. The Supreme Committee for Autumn Emergencies in Khartoum State
[00:22:39] held its periodic meeting under the chairmanship of the Minister of Infrastructure
[00:22:42] and Transport, Engineer Abdel Wahed Abdel Moneim, to follow up
[00:22:46] the implementation of previous decisions and to assess
[00:22:49] the level of preparedness for the autumn season
[00:22:52] in order to enhance the state's readiness
[00:22:56] to deal with expected challenges and reduce
[00:22:59] the impacts of rain and floods. The meeting was reassured
[00:23:03] about the progress of engineering works for clearing
[00:23:06] drains and opening major
[00:23:09] Nile, in addition to cleaning torrent
[00:23:12] paths to raise the efficiency of rainwater drainage
[00:23:16] and reduce its accumulation inside residential areas and
[00:23:21] to reduce the risks that may result from rising
[00:23:25] water levels or flowing
[00:23:28] torrents.

[00:24:44] praising the great efforts of male and female teachers,
[00:24:48] emphasizing that competition among
[00:24:51] aims is what the state government seeks to advance
[00:24:53] education. The Governor also directed the executive
[00:24:56] directors of the localities to hold celebrations to honor
[00:25:00] the excelling students to motivate

[00:25:51] the challenges by announcing the result, which is considered
[00:25:54] a new achievement added to the state's
[00:25:59] education. The state made
[00:26:03] great efforts to continue the academic
