The committee [00:04:43] urges citizens not to encroach on [00:04:46] government [00:04:49] The economic war imposed on what is happening in lands and to acquire [00:04:52] plates that were available lands according to the conditions [00:04:55] of the Khartoum [00:04:58] other needs, including even state government. The committee for emptying Khartoum state of [00:05:01] refugees and illegal [00:05:04] pressures on obtain foreign presence launched several campaigns during the past two weeks [00:05:08] and managed to arrest [00:05:11] 399 foreigners, [00:05:15] deporting 360 of them to [00:05:19] their countries, [00:05:21] bringing the total number of foreigners deported since the committee was formed [00:05:25] to 9201 [00:05:28] foreigners of various nationalities. [00:05:32] The General Command of the Armed Forces [00:05:35] issued a press release stating that, with the help [00:05:38] and success of God, our air defenses [00:05:41] today managed to shoot down an enemy drone [00:05:45] of the FH 95 [00:05:49] model in the north [00:05:52] of Al-Kukiti area in North [00:05:55] Kordofan state. [00:06:00] The Minister of Health, Professor Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim, [00:06:04] in Khartoum, discussed with representatives of United Nations [00:06:07] agencies, international and [00:06:10] regional organizations, and leaders of the health [00:06:13] sector in Darfur and Blue Nile regions and Kordofan [00:06:16] states, ways to enhance the provision of health [00:06:20] services in hard-to-reach areas. The meeting [00:06:24] reviewed the health situation and challenges facing [00:06:27] the delivery of services, [00:06:30] supplies, and the provision of personnel, [00:06:33] in addition to discussing the expansion of basic healthcare and emergency services [00:06:37] and strengthening health [00:06:40] coverage. The Minister of Health emphasized [00:06:43] the need to coordinate efforts between the government [00:06:46] and partners to ensure equitable access to services [00:06:49] in the most needy areas, [00:06:52] noting that the funding for the humanitarian [00:06:55] plan did not exceed [00:07:00] needs, amounting to approximately [00:07:03] 125 million dollars out of [00:07:07] 325 [00:07:09] million. The minister called on donors and [00:07:13] the Sudanese government to work to raise funding [00:07:18] by the end of the year [00:07:21] to ensure the continuity of basic health services. [00:07:25] For his part, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Dr. [00:07:29] Ali Babiker Sayed Ahmed, stressed the importance of continuing [00:07:33] the coordination mechanism [00:07:35] and unifying the efforts of partners and distributing available resources [00:07:39] according to needs. Meanwhile, the Minister of Health [00:07:43] in Darfur region, Dr. Babiker Hamdeen, [00:07:47] called for expanding health services [00:07:49] to include localities that lack [00:07:53] with a focus on supporting basic healthcare [00:07:56] in health centers. [00:07:58] The Governor of Khartoum, Ahmed [00:08:03] Othman Hamza, and the Minister of Human Resources and Social [00:08:06] Development, Dr. Mutasim Ahmed Saleh, [00:08:10] launched the return of the البلد (Country) Bank's [00:08:14] headquarters to resume its operations from within the capital [00:08:18] Khartoum after a three-year [00:08:21] hiatus due to the repercussions [00:08:24] of the war. The Governor of Khartoum confirmed that the return [00:08:28] of banks to the capital indicates a recovery [00:08:31] in economic activity, calling for [00:08:35] services and strengthening electronic transformation, [00:08:39] referring to the role of the banking [00:08:42] sector in financing reconstruction projects [00:08:46] and stimulating production [00:08:48] and investment. For her part, the Minister [00:08:52] of Human Resources and Social Development [00:08:55] emphasized the importance of the bank's return [00:08:58] going beyond opening branches to providing effective banking [00:09:02] services and contributing to financing [00:09:05] livelihood projects and restoring economic [00:09:08] activities for citizens. [00:09:12] I hope [00:09:15] the services of the البلد (Country) Bank [00:09:19] and other banks [00:09:22] are not limited to [00:09:23] traditional [00:09:26] banking operations, [00:09:29] but rather I hope that the return [00:09:32] of life is completed by extending [00:09:35] the services of banks so that they can finance [00:09:39] economic activities. We look forward [00:09:43] to expanding because banking [00:09:45] transactions and new applications [00:09:50] essential means [00:09:54] that we must keep pace [00:09:57] with [00:10:01] the world and the great electronic [00:10:04] transformation that the world is witnessing compels [00:10:08] us as a state to strive in this direction vigorously. [00:10:13] The Minister of Youth and Sports, Professor Ahmed [00:10:16] Adam Ahmed, and the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Youth [00:10:20] and Sports in Khartoum State, Dr. [00:10:23] Babiker Ali Yahya, along with a number of leaders [00:10:27] of the joint forces, attended the celebration of the Arab [00:10:30] Volunteering Day which was held at [00:10:34] Karrari Youth Center and organized by the Supreme [00:10:37] Council for Youth and Sports in cooperation with [00:10:41] a number of civil society organizations. [00:10:43] The representative of volunteers, [00:10:47] Engineer Rehab Salah El-Din, confirmed [00:10:50] that volunteer work embodied honorable examples during [00:10:53] the Dignity War in providing services [00:10:56] to citizens. For his part, [00:10:59] Dr. Babiker Ali Yahya explained that the occasion [00:11:03] contributed to exchanging experiences and promoting a culture [00:11:06] of volunteering, while the Minister of Youth [00:11:10] and Sports praised the efforts [00:11:13] of civil society organizations, confirming that [00:11:17] the doors of the ministry are open to youth [00:11:20] to participate in service and sports programs. [00:11:23] The ceremony concluded [00:11:26] leaders and distributing sports [00:11:29] equipment to a number of clubs in Khartoum [00:11:33] State. [00:11:38] In his speech to the the Open" [00:11:42] program on Sudan TV, [00:11:44] the Minister of Finance, Dr. Gibril Ibrahim, [00:11:48] revealed the efforts made by his ministry in the early [00:11:51] days of the war, after [00:11:54] leaving Khartoum State, where [00:11:57] he held a number of meetings with the governors of the states [00:12:00] and organizations [00:12:04] of decisions to provide manufactured goods and [00:12:07] supplies. I decided to meet [00:12:12] ones in the neighboring [00:12:15] states in Madani, and that was the first official [00:12:18] meeting of the government at the national level [00:12:22] that included all governors. No, it [00:12:26] did not include all governors, about nine of them attended [00:12:29] the meeting, including the governor of the Blue Nile. [00:12:32] We met and discussed three basic issues. [00:12:36] The first issue is that [00:12:40] the country is at war, and we must not [00:12:43] combine war and famine, [00:12:45] and the summer [00:12:48] us. So we decided [00:12:52] meeting headed by [00:12:55] the governor of Gedarif state at the time, and to move towards providing [00:12:59] agricultural inputs for the summer season to ensure [00:13:04] the first decision. The second decision, after [00:13:07] electronic collection was disrupted, [00:13:11] we decided to implement paper-based [00:13:14] collection. We circulated this to all [00:13:17] states. The third decision was [00:13:21] to try to alleviate the burden on citizens by opening markets. [00:13:25] the low-cost markets, and we even passed [00:13:29] by the markets in Madani, and we asked the rest [00:13:32] of the governors to follow the example of the governor in Madani and open [00:13:36] low-cost markets to sell [00:13:38] the burden on people. The Minister of Finance, Dr. [00:13:42] Gibril Ibrahim, confirmed that the country lost [00:13:47] of its revenues and indicated an improvement [00:13:50] in the situation during the coming period. [00:13:53] The first [00:13:56] revenue was June 2023. [00:13:59] The total amount we received was 25 [00:14:03] million pounds. 25 million, not a billion. Million [00:14:06] pounds, not a billion pounds. Now, [00:14:09] in August, [00:14:12] we received from taxes only [00:14:15] 803 billion pounds. [00:14:19] Yes, approximately [00:14:21] a trillion. Other sources, [00:14:26] revenues have increased [00:14:29] several times, thank God, but also [00:14:32] spending has increased more [00:14:35] than that. The Minister of Finance, Dr. [00:14:39] Gibril Ibrahim, said that the decline [00:14:43] in the currency was caused by the rebellion, [00:14:46] with the help of the United Arab Emirates, [00:14:49] by printing currency, in addition [00:14:52] to establishing speculative [00:14:55] chambers. This led to [00:14:59] instability in the exchange rate of the national currency in recent [00:15:02] days. In fact, [00:15:05] the rebellion was able to print [00:15:08] very large quantities of the national currency, [00:15:12] partly counterfeit, and partly with genuine [00:15:17] in the Emirates. The design [00:15:20] was genuine, and they were able [00:15:23] to sell this currency in large quantities [00:15:25] to [00:15:28] foreign currency, foreign [00:15:32] cash. Yes, and this had a significant impact on the exchange [00:15:35] rate. In addition to that, there are [00:15:38] currency traders speculating at [00:15:42] prices that no one actually buys [00:15:45] a single dollar for, but they say now the dollar is [00:15:48] 8400, then soon the dollar is 8500, [00:15:51] we reached 9000, and in fact, no one buys anything or sells [00:15:55] anything, but with the intention of causing [00:15:58] confusion. Regarding [00:16:01] the gold sector, the minister affirmed that measures [00:16:05] have been taken to tighten control over markets [00:16:08] and enhance oversight of them, [00:16:11] in addition to implementing strict measures to combat [00:16:14] smuggling. Now, [00:16:17] the entire focus is on regulating artisanal mining [00:16:21] as a first step by fencing off markets [00:16:24] and defining entry and exit points, [00:16:27] and providing electronic devices [00:16:29] for examining and weighing vehicles that [00:16:33] transport the stone, by following [00:16:38] every step. People can verify [00:16:42] the information by enumerating the markets themselves. Currently, there are more than [00:16:45] 24 gold [00:16:47] markets. Now, people are trying to reduce these [00:16:51] markets to a reasonable number [00:16:53] and provide [00:16:57] the main markets so that the miner [00:17:00] can obtain their product, [00:17:04] and at the same time, the state [00:17:08] is aware of the production of gold from Al-Nayer on this day [00:17:11] with a specific form [00:17:13] to be filled [00:17:16] out, and a copy of the form [00:17:21] with sufficient information about this product, about the amount [00:17:23] of gold in his possession. Now, there is follow-up [00:17:27] on every quantity produced in a certain market, for example, [00:17:30] where it went. This has not yet been generalized [00:17:34] to all markets, but we will gradually reach [00:17:38] all markets and be able to control the product. [00:17:41] If we control the product, we will know [00:17:44] exactly the quantity produced, and therefore, if [00:17:48] it does not reach official export lines, we will know whether it is stored [00:17:52] by the person or [00:17:55] has gone across the borders, and the person who [00:17:58] smuggled the goods will be held accountable. [00:18:02] Despite the repercussions of the war in the Gulf [00:18:04] region and the challenges that affected the movement [00:18:08] of supplies and supply chains, the markets of the capital [00:18:12] Khartoum are witnessing relative stability [00:18:15] in the prices of a number of consumer goods and their availability, [00:18:18] amidst assurances that the cost of production [00:18:23] remains the most influential factor [00:18:26] in price [00:18:27] levels. [00:18:34] markets is an equation that is difficult to calculate [00:18:38] in light of global economic challenges [00:18:41] that cast a shadow over the movement [00:18:43] of markets and local products. [00:18:47] In some things, [00:18:50] there is an increase and a decrease in some [00:18:54] things. But overall, [00:18:57] the situation is a little [00:18:59] better. [00:19:02] Of course, there are increases that are unexpected, but [00:19:05] thank God, since Friday and Saturday and until Sunday, [00:19:09] there is a decrease in prices. Thank God, there is a sharp [00:19:13] decrease in prices, and it is reassuring [00:19:16] to citizens. Economists believe that total [00:19:20] consumption in the country largely depends [00:19:22] on imported goods, which [00:19:26] has reflected on import costs and the flow [00:19:29] of goods to markets. [00:19:34] of the total consumption of Sudanese families [00:19:37] or public and private sector institutions [00:19:41] depends on imported goods. Therefore, [00:19:43] the economic situation and its macroeconomic [00:19:46] indicators are greatly affected by any bottlenecks [00:19:49] in imports or increasing prices due to any global [00:19:53] and regional events. Therefore, I say that [00:19:56] the American-Iranian war [00:20:01] goods on supply chains crossing through [00:20:05] the Strait of Hormuz. Between indicators [00:20:08] of price stability and declining purchasing [00:20:12] power, economic challenges [00:20:15] remain, while attention turns [00:20:18] to policies and legislation that are more suitable [00:20:21] for the current phase, thereby enhancing market [00:20:25] stability and alleviating the burden [00:20:28] of living for citizens. The local economy fluctuates [00:20:31] between the repercussions of a global economic war [00:20:35] and the challenges of price instability [00:20:39] in a scene that imposes increasing [00:20:42] markets and the livelihood of citizens, making [00:20:46] the restoration of economic balance dependent on addressing [00:20:50] imbalances [00:21:15] meeting of the security committees of North [00:21:18] and West Kordofan states in the city [00:21:22] of El-Obeid emphasized the importance of strengthening [00:21:25] joint coordination and supporting efforts to restore security [00:21:28] and stability and liberate West Kordofan [00:21:32] state from the rebel militia. [00:21:34] The governor of North Kordofan, Abd al-Khaliq Abd al-Latif, [00:21:37] announced the continuation of his state in providing [00:21:41] support, assistance, and services [00:21:44] to the citizens of West Kordofan, welcoming [00:21:47] the start of the state government's work from [00:21:50] the city of El-Obeid until the complete liberation [00:21:54] of its territories. For his part, the governor of [00:21:58] West Kordofan, Major General Mu’ayyid Hamdi Tirab, [00:22:01] praised the support provided by the government of North [00:22:05] Kordofan, confirming the continued support of the armed [00:22:08] forces and their supporting forces, in addition to strengthening [00:22:12] joint coordination to achieve security and stability [00:22:16] in the two states. Geographically, in fact, [00:22:20] North Kordofan State is part of [00:22:23] the state. We are pleased to provide services to the citizens [00:22:26] of West Kordofan. We are pleased to be a support [00:22:30] for them, in fact, given that [00:22:33] the Kordofan region, with its three states, has very strong [00:22:36] ties. Therefore, the current stage is to support [00:22:40] our armed forces to liberate West Kordofan State, and we are [00:22:44] ready to undertake this role with all our strength, God [00:22:47] willing. We came, in fact, to brother Abd al-Khaliq [00:22:51] in North Kordofan, [00:22:54] first to express our great gratitude [00:22:58] and appreciation for the great hospitality of West Kordofan [00:23:01] for its people and its displaced [00:23:04] people in the city of El-Obeid, whose [00:23:07] number exceeds 44 thousand. We came [00:23:13] work, and certainly this [00:23:17] work has two parts: how to liberate [00:23:22] to help our children and our displaced people in the state and other [00:23:26] states. As part of the efforts of the White Nile state [00:23:29] government to alleviate the burdens [00:23:32] of living, interventions continue to provide basic [00:23:35] goods at reduced prices, amidst [00:23:39] directives to expand [00:23:42] centers and renew oversight of markets [00:23:46] and combat the smuggling [00:23:52] of strategic goods. Despite the economic [00:23:55] conditions facing the country, the markets of White Nile [00:23:59] State are witnessing an abundance of strategic goods in the various [00:24:02] markets of the state. Sudan TV's camera, during [00:24:06] its tour of Rabak city market, [00:24:09] interviewed a number of citizens who urged [00:24:13] the state to intervene urgently to alleviate [00:24:16] suffering, stressing the need [00:24:19] to combat crisis merchants, which is a systematic [00:24:24] and people want to see people in the armed forces. [00:24:28] We really believe that this war is an economic war, and we want [00:24:31] parties that belong to the Rapid [00:24:34] Support Forces. But we, God willing, are an army [00:24:37] and a people. We are not concerned by high [00:24:40] prices or dollar fluctuations. The most important thing [00:24:43] for us is security and peace [00:24:47] in our country. There is a very big conspiracy [00:24:50] against Sudan, and we, God willing, are with [00:24:53] our government, standing with it in spirit and soul, and we will support [00:24:57] it with everything, God willing, despite the pressures and the belief that the economic [00:25:01] crisis happening now is a fabricated crisis by weak-willed [00:25:05] people. Some weak-willed people are [00:25:08] doing this, and we demand from here [00:25:12] that the state strike with an iron fist anyone [00:25:15] who manipulates the citizen's food and the citizen's [00:25:18] security. The committee for the flow of goods in the Ministry [00:25:22] of Finance confirmed [00:25:24] an abundance of strategic goods, medicines, [00:25:27] and fuel. [00:25:29] And thank God, the state now enjoys very abundant [00:25:33] quantities through reports from the General Directorate [00:25:36] of Transport and Petroleum and from economic security regarding goods, [00:25:40] and from the Minister of Health regarding medicines, as well as [00:25:44] some [00:25:48] providing fuel for the agricultural season. [00:25:52] The state government has taken many measures to curb [00:25:55] price hikes. These [00:25:58] measures included directing localities to open [00:26:01] discounted sales markets, combating smuggling, [00:26:06] prices. And thank God, we [00:26:10] the military cooperative [00:26:14] are with us, God willing, and they will be with us to open [00:26:18] discounted sales outlets for the basic commodities available. [00:26:20] And we thank God that we in White Nile state, [00:26:24] we have factories [00:26:27] and we have products for all basic [00:26:30] commodities that the citizen needs. [00:26:34] And thank God, now [00:26:38] to be first in livestock. [00:26:41] So the insane [00:26:44] commodities for the citizen [00:26:47] were an obstacle for us in the government [00:26:50] of this state. But God willing, [00:26:54] with this meeting, God willing, we will come [00:26:58] up with [00:27:00] very good outcomes to open [00:27:03] sales outlets for citizens, God willing, at discounted prices. [00:27:07] The camera [00:27:10] program revealed the availability of strategic [00:27:14] goods in the markets of White Nile State, but the citizen [00:27:17] hopes for urgent interventions from the state [00:27:30] in Gedarif State are actively implementing economic [00:27:34] interventions to confront the economic [00:27:36] war targeting the country, [00:27:40] by implementing projects that support poor [00:27:45] and urban areas. [00:27:49] Gedarif State authorities' projects to alleviate the burden [00:27:52] of living and confront the economic war [00:27:55] imposed on the country through multiple economic [00:27:59] interventions, including increasing discounted sales [00:28:02] centers and supporting productive sectors, [00:28:06] especially poor families in rural areas, [00:28:09] have continued. The economic war directed at Sudan [00:28:12] from Gedarif State will not starve Sudan, God willing. [00:28:16] It will not starve through our communication [00:28:20] with organizations. We have [00:28:24] various sectors. One of [00:28:28] these sectors, of course, is poultry [00:28:31] farming. We are talking about more than 100 [00:28:35] poultry farms in Gedarif State. Until 2024, [00:28:38] Gedarif State used to import [00:28:41] Khartoum before the war, and so on. Now, daily, [00:28:45] refrigerated trucks [00:28:48] Our brothers [00:28:51] at Human Nabil embraced the idea with us. We salute [00:28:54] them with a great salute. The philosophy [00:28:58] of Gedarif State authorities in alleviating the severity of economic [00:29:03] conditions is based on empowering families with productive [00:29:06] projects that achieve food security and, in return, [00:29:10] support markets with products. We believe that such [00:29:13] projects for the Ministry of Welfare and Social Development are great [00:29:17] projects that increase production and productivity. We believe [00:29:20] that there is currently an economic war against Sudan [00:29:23] and fierce attacks. The people and the army are making [00:29:27] progress on many fronts, and therefore [00:29:30] the economy and the economic war and social [00:29:40] interventions that alleviate the burdens of living, and among them [00:29:44] we have a number of interventions to empower productive [00:29:47] families with projects. The multiplicity of productive projects [00:29:51] supports the idea of economic empowerment for women and vulnerable [00:29:54] segments in rural and urban areas. This image, dear [00:29:57] brothers, preserves the dignity of families [00:30:01] and the dignity of women. We know that [00:30:03] the war has impoverished [00:30:06] most of the Sudanese people for the rural families [00:30:10] support project [00:30:15] comes from the organization's belief in supporting [00:30:19] modest and needy families to move from the circle [00:30:22] of poverty and destitution to the circle This project [00:30:26] comes through a number of packages, [00:30:30] production packages, starting from training women [00:30:34] candidates on raising broiler chickens [00:30:37] according to approved health and veterinary [00:30:41] standards. The economic alternatives available [00:30:44] in the country and the available capabilities [00:30:48] will make all states
