00:00:01But he sacrifices Darfur and Oumran. Both are bitter. Therefore, I
00:00:04think that the Sudanese people are promised. Therefore, we must
00:00:09the international community. If it does not preserve the morale of our military institution. And we, as the Sudanese people,
00:00:13must support our military institution. And this great
00:00:16support must continue
00:00:19their tools, they use their tools for the military institution, whether it is through popular movements or whether it is
00:00:22our media support, or whether it is support from the youth through
00:00:26popular support, whether it is
00:00:31joint and all
00:00:33I want to say that many the supporting forces of the military institution. Therefore, I believe that anyone who monitors
00:00:37and follows the scene on the ground,
00:00:40at the beginning of the war, many for example, if we analyze the movements
00:00:43of the military forces, for example, in North Kordofan, a week or
00:00:46two weeks ago, and the movements of the military forces, for example, in West Kordofan,
00:00:51move some files within also, observe the situation now in North
00:00:56Nations and so on people in Darfur. I mean, I think that the presence of al-Nurqaba, for example, in Omdurman now, I think
00:01:08that the erosion and dismantling that
00:01:11in Sudan. In the context occurred, that's why I'm saying that many people
00:01:15Wad Al-Noura in West Darfur, in don't comprehend the military strategic scene
00:01:20the border strip between Sudan from the soil of this accurately, considering that the tools were numerous. People think that the battle was a military battle
00:01:24with weapons and so on. No, there were multiple battles, a strategic battle,
00:01:27dismantling the militia from
00:01:29utilizing available within, ongoing recruitments, and so on.
00:01:33Sudan. The meeting Therefore, the issue that we expect in the scenarios is that there will be
00:01:37a considerable number of these people who will, I mean,
00:01:40they will surrender. A part of them, especially those
00:01:42coming from neighboring countries of Sudan, coming
00:01:46in Khartoum State as as mercenaries, they will leave, considering
00:01:48with points and lines of that a mercenary doesn't die. A mercenary comes to get
00:01:50money. When he faces the armies
00:01:56defeated this and drones, he will leave, for sure. Yes. Okay, I mean,
00:01:59there is news that al-Atta refuted the arguments that
00:02:03on the border the militia had put forward, such as the argument of
00:02:06the state of 1956. I mean, it is known that this
00:02:09war
00:02:12circles, whether in the Arab League, in has, I mean, gone through arguments, I mean, starting
00:02:15from talking, for example, about democracy,
00:02:19and a group of arguments came, including the state
00:02:22of 1956, as stated
00:02:25by Lieutenant General Yasser Al-Atta.
00:02:29They say that
00:02:30Sudanese citizens residing in military defeat does not begin on the battlefield,
00:02:34but begins with the decline of ideology. Yes.
00:02:37So the militia's ideology declined from democracy, and now
00:02:41it has reached talks that have no
00:02:45But they were an integral part relation to the war. Are such arguments, which Al-Atta refuted,
00:02:49and the decline of the militia's ideology,
00:02:52and the absence of even now we don't
00:02:55hear any talk about any
00:02:58fighting ideology or any cause around which mercenaries
00:03:02or the militia can rally?
00:03:05Are we now on the verge of no
00:03:09ideology, nothing at this stage? I think
00:03:13that when the battle
00:03:14is exchanged with international was raging in its early stages, the party that
00:03:19they are also among the organizations that work in this
00:03:19work, in diplomatic work, in was moving the militia's media was not the militia itself. There was another
00:03:22party concerned, as media houses working on this matter,
00:03:27process of the first degree. It has a great impact on and presenting criticism of
00:03:30some things in an unobjective way. Who is this other party? I mean, I
00:03:34expect that there will be some
00:03:37the fire are expected media houses, it could be steadfastness, it could be
00:03:40that we need to continue in this all the parties hostile to the military institution, as well as some
00:03:43people who have become agents for some countries. Therefore,
00:03:46they were trying as much as possible to belittle the Sudanese national
00:03:50institutions.
00:03:52Also, real support from They are trying to show that there is a real crisis in the 1956 state that
00:03:55they are talking about. Unfortunately, many of those who
00:03:58talk, you find that, I mean, their ancestors were an integral part of
00:04:02the Sudanese national movement. I mean, when some
00:04:06there are refugees present militias from Kordofan talk about the 1956 state,
00:04:10we find that Bashar Jamaa is from
00:04:13North Kordofan. You find Dabke from
00:04:18controlling what is happening in Bakar from South Darfur, and whose hands are in for example, and so on, in Ad Al-Fursan or Dar Al-Ghanem
00:04:21previously. Therefore, I believe that these lies,
00:04:24this unit, the 1956 state,
00:04:27are still detained in houses, for example, in and so on, is
00:04:28supporting countries. In this just propaganda to mislead the Sudanese street. And the Sudanese local
00:04:31street is very aware. But I used to think that
00:04:35if the talk was about a crisis in Sudanese
00:04:38politics, or if it was about us failing, for example, to
00:04:41manage diversity and so on, it could be within the framework of criticism
00:04:44as a way to address the problem. But
00:04:47criticizing the 1956 state and what the 1956 state
00:04:51did, which our ancestors built, is unobjective criticism. The matter
00:04:54of
00:04:56talking about the militia now having no discourse, no talk, I mean,
00:05:00the militia leader said a week or two weeks ago that we are coming to Khartoum. I don't
00:05:04know where they are coming from. I think
00:05:06we interact with that they are in continuous community. I mean, the international community is not part of retreat. Therefore, I think that
00:05:09there is no objective discourse
00:05:13for the militia. And I am very optimistic that the militia
00:05:16will retreat in a very short period, and soon we will see
00:05:20our armies in El-Nahud moving towards El-Fasher. We will see our armies
00:05:23from Dar Zagawa marching
00:05:26towards Kutum to El-Fasher. We will see others
00:05:30from West Darfur coming towards Geneina, God willing.
00:05:33Okay, viewers, let's watch this material, and we will
00:05:37comment on it, God willing. When we
00:05:39talk about
00:05:42Leader Musa
00:05:45Hilal, we don't just say, brothers,
00:05:49he is the head of the
00:05:52Awakening Council. That's it.
00:05:55And we don't say he is a popular tribal
00:05:59leader only.
00:06:01And we say he is a national symbol for all of
00:06:05Sudan.
00:06:08A national symbol for all of
00:06:10Sudan. His positions throughout
00:06:13his history
00:06:16in Darfur and in Sudan
00:06:18as a whole were historical
00:06:22positions. If we look
00:06:25at them with analysis and in detail, they are in the depth
00:06:29of the homeland,
00:06:31homeland, from the clay of this homeland,
00:06:34and from the waters of this homeland, and from
00:06:38the salt of this land. God is great. God
00:06:44is great. You, brothers, are not easy. You are a lineage of
00:06:48history, a history,
00:06:50a white history, a white history. And if
00:06:54the enemies of the homeland wanted
00:06:57to obscure this history
00:07:00blackness, but Sheikh Musa
00:07:03Hilal and heroes around him
00:07:08plot.
00:07:13Dear viewers, welcome again. Doctor, this
00:07:17visit of Lieutenant General Yasser Al-Atta to the Awakening Council
00:07:21of the Revolution in Omdurman. Your comment on what he said. Of course, His Excellency
00:07:25Lieutenant General Yasser Al-Atta always distinguishes
00:07:29himself with an objective discourse and a historical discourse
00:07:32and is truly knowledgeable about national history. If one
00:07:36follows this picture,
00:07:39next to him is
00:07:42Safna Al-Nurqaba. Al-Nurqaba
00:07:45is, I mean, in reality, they were not, for example, a general in the Rapid Support Forces. Originally,
00:07:49he was from the Border Guards, but he was incorporated into the Rapid Support
00:07:53Forces, and they were not satisfied, Al-Nurqaba, Safna, and so on.
00:07:58of the support as a fait accompli. But the reality
00:08:01fully confirms that the departure of Al-Nurqaba,
00:08:04Safna, and others will lead to very significant movements
00:08:08towards North Darfur. All indications say that
00:08:12the movements will be a considerable number from a very large number of
00:08:16axes, considering that the movement will not be in
00:08:19one direction, and this is the big challenge that the militia will face,
00:08:22considering that they rely on panic. But I
00:08:26think that when there are more than seven axes, I mean,
00:08:30which direction will it go? Will it go in the West Kordofan axis,
00:08:33for example, in El-Nahud areas? Will it go in the Mellit axis,
00:08:36for example, in North Darfur? Will it go in the Dar Zagawa axis?
00:08:40Will it hold the West Darfur axis and so on? I think
00:08:43that we expect
00:08:47a considerable number of surprises, considering
00:08:51that the movements will be very significant, whether through
00:08:54the army, joint intelligence, and so on.
00:08:58Therefore, we think that maintaining the morale
00:09:01of the army is extremely important.
00:09:04the Sudanese street for the military institution is extremely important. Also, the media
00:09:08institution must be present in this battle, the battle of dignity.
00:09:12Yes. So let me move to a file
00:09:15related to the militia. Legal expert
00:09:19Dr. Mohammed Al-Zain stressed the importance
00:09:22of activating international justice mechanisms and holding accountable
00:09:26those responsible for the violations
00:09:29committed by the militia since April 15,
00:09:332023, and its supporters, which
00:09:36falls under the classification of war crimes
00:09:40and genocide. He emphasized the importance of integrating
00:09:44official, popular, and media efforts to support
00:09:47the path of international justice. Dr. Al-Zain explained
00:09:51during his speech at the 62nd awareness
00:09:54conference of the Ministry of Culture,
00:09:57Information, Tourism, and Antiquities, which
00:10:01was organized by the Sudan News Agency at the Cultural
00:10:04Center in Omdurman, he explained
00:10:07the importance of understanding the true nature
00:10:10of the war and understanding its legal and political context.
00:10:14He said that the war waged by
00:10:17the militia is not a war between two parties,
00:10:20but a war of national dignity and a war
00:10:24of existence. It targets the Sudanese state,
00:10:26stating that its legal
00:10:29description falls within the framework
00:10:32of aggression directed against the state, the Sudanese
00:10:35people, and national resources. Doctor,
00:10:39of course, we must first commend
00:10:42the positions and efforts of Dr. Mohammed
00:10:45Zain in the international arena. Yes. And in the legal
00:10:49context, I mean, do you think
00:10:53that legally Sudan has been able to define the issue legally,
00:10:56and what are the expected outcomes after these efforts?
00:11:00Of course, there have been great efforts made, especially
00:11:05people thought that international cooperation would not be at the required level.
00:11:09Also, people thought that regional and international organizations
00:11:13also did not understand what was happening on the ground. But after
00:11:16the movements of some Sudanese
00:11:20the surrounding countries and the demonstrations that we saw day
00:11:23after day, and the movements of academics, journalists,
00:11:26and activists in civil society organizations, they were able
00:11:30to convey the truth on the ground, considering that
00:11:33many crimes and violations have
00:11:36occurred in many cities, in
00:11:40El-Fasher, in other areas, in Zamzam camp. But I
00:11:44want to say with all honesty that the militia was documenting its crimes,
00:11:47and therefore all the evidence and proofs were available, and everyone
00:11:51was following. Therefore, but did, I mean, this documentation
00:11:55and these proofs,
00:11:58I mean, at the legal level and international
00:12:02condemnations, and, I mean,
00:12:06perhaps decision-making centers or international organizations concerned
00:12:10with human rights and law, I mean, is there
00:12:13any positive response in favor of Sudan? Of course, of course, even
00:12:17now, if we follow what
00:12:19is called popular diplomacy, the popular movement had
00:12:23a great impact. Also, intelligence diplomacy,
00:12:26also, the movements of external work, diplomatic work, international
00:12:30relations played a great role in, I mean,
00:12:34presenting Sudan's vision in international
00:12:37the African Union, in the United Nations, also,
00:12:40the strategy of the Council of Ministers that the Prime Minister presented
00:12:44concerning peace issues in Sudan, all of these paved the way
00:12:48for the international community and regional and international organizations to change
00:12:51their understanding of what is happening on the ground. Also,
00:12:55other countries, whether in Arab countries,
00:12:59Arab countries, and others, were able to refute these allegations.
00:13:02The media, also, the local and international media were following closely
00:13:06and intimately. Therefore, I think that
00:13:09the effort that was made was a great effort by a considerable number of Sudanese
00:13:13citizens. Also, we notice that human rights organizations are working.
00:13:16I mean, people should not think that there are no institutions
00:13:20monitoring the situation on the ground, because we
00:13:23see
00:13:25that the states have formed committees, what is called
00:13:28fact-finding committees about the Rapid Support militia
00:13:31in all states of Sudan.
00:13:34This information is kept up to date. This information
00:13:39organizations and concerned institutions in international
00:13:44external work. Therefore, this information was very accurate and
00:13:48rich for the international community. I mean, for example, now there are international movements
00:13:52to classify the Rapid Support militia as a terrorist militia. All
00:13:55of this came through popular effort, official effort,
00:13:59academic effort, media effort,
00:14:01diplomatic effort. Therefore, I think
00:14:05direction. We need to provide more evidence
00:14:08and proofs that we must reach
00:14:12the highest levels of litigation, whether
00:14:16at the level of national judicial institutions or at the level of international
00:14:20institutions concerned with human rights issues,
00:14:23so that, I mean, what is called
00:14:25the destruction that occurred to the Sudanese society at this stage, and it was
00:14:29a very great destruction. Okay, yes, Dr. Zakaria, excuse me for interrupting,
00:14:32but there is talk that the parties that support
00:14:36the militia and that stand behind the militia,
00:14:43the world, these parties that are supposed to
00:14:46condemn the militia are perhaps
00:14:50branches of these
00:14:53context, is it possible for these supporting countries
00:14:57of the militia to condemn the party that supports it? And if
00:15:00we assume that there are, I mean, parties that have condemned
00:15:03the militia and classified it as a terrorist militia, and have talked
00:15:07about, have talked about genocide, what
00:15:11does the classification of the militia as terrorist add
00:15:14to Sudan? We have our mechanisms, whether they are
00:15:18national mechanisms or our international relations that we
00:15:21move through. Therefore, I think that we
00:15:25are an integral part of the international
00:15:28Sudan. Therefore,
00:15:31others in the same way, and we try
00:15:34as much as possible to expose some countries
00:15:37that were directly supporting the militia in the same way.
00:15:41We have national mechanisms, what is called the judicial
00:15:45triangle, whether it is the judicial system, the prosecution,
00:15:48the police, all the information is now working
00:15:52and the militia's violations are reported to the prosecution.
00:15:55The thefts that occurred in citizens' property and so
00:15:59on. Therefore, we do not rely
00:16:02to a high degree on international community institutions. We
00:16:05rely on judicial institutions. Therefore, we think
00:16:09that there are some countries that we need to sit
00:16:13down with diplomatically day after day. We are not at all unable
00:16:16to negotiate with the African Union for Sudan's return to
00:16:19the African Union table. We are not at all unable
00:16:23to, I mean,
00:16:28the Arab League. And we are not at all unable to, I mean, the United
00:16:34will not cooperate with Sudan. They will not deal with Sudan's issues. I think that there are some judicial
00:16:37institutions, there are very influential bodies, what is called
00:16:41the American lobby, and there are some institutions in developed
00:16:44countries working, monitoring, and so on, I mean,
00:16:48affecting even elections in some countries. Therefore, I think
00:16:51that there are some institutions that we should work
00:16:55with so that we can, as much as possible, ensure
00:16:59that these crimes that have been committed are brought
00:17:02to justice. And in the same way, what is called
00:17:06the mechanisms of what is called
00:17:08truth, justice, and reconciliation. All of these are mechanisms that can be
00:17:12local, regional, and international. Yes.
00:17:15Of course, certainly, if the international community,
00:17:18I mean, overlooked what happened in Sudan,
00:17:21then certainly the living global conscience
00:17:25and history will not forgive this
00:17:27militia. Let me move to the second meeting
00:17:31of the special committee for preparing for the exchange
00:17:34of detainees. The second meeting of the committee
00:17:38specializing in preparing for the exchange of detainees, which
00:17:42was formed under the decision of the President of the Transitional
00:17:45Sovereignty Council No. 270 for the year
00:17:492026, was held on Saturday, August 1st
00:17:53of this year, with the full
00:17:56attendance of its members. The meeting reviewed the status of implementing
00:18:00previous assignments regarding the enumeration and classification
00:18:03of detainees and the preparation of records
00:18:06and necessary data lists. The meeting also
00:18:10approved the plan set for the preparation process
00:18:14and subsequent steps in all stages
00:18:17of the exchange process. The meeting also praised
00:18:20the interaction of the families of the missing and detainees through
00:18:24their response to the committee's appeal to report
00:18:28their relatives to police stations and public
00:18:32prosecutions. Doctor,
00:18:35I mean, what do you expect for the results
00:18:37of the meeting? Of course, I think that this is a normal routine
00:18:41that happens in all wars. And of course, these are
00:18:44efforts related to local, regional, and international
00:18:47institutions. This is one thing. If we take it at the international level, what is called
00:18:51the International Red Cross and the United Nations,
00:18:57field. Also, the process of exchanging prisoners. I
00:19:00think that it is a humanitarian
00:19:04society, considering that it is a humanitarian issue. Also, the exchange process
00:19:07is based on all for all. And at the same
00:19:11time, the exchange of prisoners is not only linked
00:19:15to the army. It can be the army, the police, and also
00:19:18civilians if they are prisoners. I mean, therefore, I think that this is one of the very
00:19:22important mechanisms. At the same
00:19:26time, I mean, at the same time, they use legal tools, customary
00:19:29tools, and religious tools, considering that a prisoner should be treated
00:19:33humanely, preserving his
00:19:36dignity and so on. Therefore, I expect from this
00:19:39committee that it will first go towards
00:19:42identifying the missing,
00:19:45as well as the detainees, as well as the prisoners,
00:19:49and so on. Because the military institution has sufficient
00:19:52information about where the prisoners are and so on. Because there are some
00:19:56notoriously bad prisons, for example, Dagris prison,
00:19:59another prison in El-Shalla, and also some citizens
00:20:04El-Fasher, in the eastern neighborhoods, and so on, after the undeclared
00:20:08prisons. But I think that the military
00:20:11institution is capable of providing information, capable of obtaining
00:20:15accurate information and so on. But all of this is done within the framework
00:20:18of accurate information through the established mechanisms,
00:20:22whether they are legal, customary, and so
00:20:25on.
00:20:27I mean, is the militia aware of the nature of such
00:20:31issues regarding UN charters
00:20:34and human rights,
00:20:37Sudanese customs and Sudanese
00:20:40ethics? I mean, when we talk about such
00:20:43issues, is it necessary to include
00:20:47what you mentioned? It is necessary for us
00:20:50to deal with matters from the perspective of the established
00:20:53tools. The militia is forced to cooperate with
00:20:59cooperate, the international community will find itself facing a real trial. I mean, therefore, I think
00:21:03that it is true that they do not have the ethics that they talk about,
00:21:06but perhaps they will put themselves in an awkward
00:21:10position if they do not cooperate
00:21:14and so on. But I think that such
00:21:17files are very important because they have humanitarian
00:21:20dimensions. They may cooperate, or they may not cooperate. They may try
00:21:24to provide misleading information or so on. But human rights
00:21:27organizations are working. They have information about where prisoners are
00:21:31detained, where they are in Nyala, where they are in
00:21:34El-Fasher, even, I mean, they think that international committees might, for example, visit
00:21:38certain prisons, El-Shalla prison in Nyala, or go to Dagris prison
00:21:42and so on. But there are also prisons in other places, I mean, other detention
00:21:45centers, and accurate information is available. People know it. I mean, yes.
00:21:49Okay, let's move to the Ministry of Foreign
00:21:52Affairs holding a meeting with the Deputy Country Director
00:21:56of the High Commissioner's Office for Refugees
00:22:01of following up on the developments of the clashes that occurred
00:22:04between the Tigray People's Liberation Front forces and the Ethiopian
00:22:07Army on
00:22:10and Ethiopia, the Ministry of Foreign
00:22:14Affairs held a meeting with the Deputy
00:22:17Country Director of the Office of the High Commissioner
00:22:20for Refugees in
00:22:23discussed the latest developments
00:22:26and the humanitarian implications arising from
00:22:29the confrontations in the region and their impact on the situation
00:22:32of refugees and asylum seekers coming
00:22:36from Ethiopia. The Ministry
00:22:39asked the Commission to
00:22:42highlight the facts and provide accurate
00:22:45information to the local and international public
00:22:49regarding the humanitarian developments
00:22:53strip. Doctor,
00:22:57of course, suddenly this issue
00:23:00erupted. True, it is sudden, but there are
00:23:04previous repercussions, an old renewed problem
00:23:07between the Ethiopian government and Tigray, and as is well
00:23:11known, they reached a peace agreement in Pretoria
00:23:14in South Africa. Why do you think these
00:23:18events renewed? I think that one of our
00:23:21problems in the Horn of Africa is that peace
00:23:25agreements do not last very long, perhaps due to the lack
00:23:28of commitment to implementing these agreements, and perhaps
00:23:31some institutions are linked to social
00:23:35and tribal ties. This is also one of
00:23:37the strategic determinants for the Horn of Africa. But I think
00:23:41that the real challenge is that when
00:23:44we are a state, I mean, we have our internal problems,
00:23:48and there are also repercussions for another state,
00:23:51refugees and Ethiopians. Again,
00:23:54this region is a very active region, I mean,
00:23:57it will put us in a very awkward position, because, incidentally, refugees
00:24:01sometimes come with their problems, they come
00:24:04with many of their own problems. The problem
00:24:07of human trafficking, I don't know, the smuggling that happens
00:24:10and illegal activities and so on. Therefore, I think that
00:24:13sitting with the High Commissioner or UNHCR concerned with
00:24:17the work of refugees is a must
00:24:20to organize the work of refugees
00:24:23and their camps. At least they should be 40 kilometers away
00:24:27from the Sudanese cities. For organization purposes, okay.
00:24:30Yes, in this context, I mean, in the news, the Ministry asked
00:24:34the Commission to highlight
00:24:37the facts and provide accurate information
00:24:41to the local and international public. Do you think
00:24:44what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:24:47means by providing information? Of course,
00:24:51considering that there are refugees, UNHCR says that
00:24:56in Sudanese territory. And this
00:24:59is a result. Is it expected
00:25:03that not all facts will be announced because of the news?
00:25:05Of course, I think that international organizations in the early
00:25:09stages do not always announce results clearly.
00:25:13Why not? Many of them think that they will put themselves in
00:25:17awkward positions by not, because they are accused of not being impartial and independent
00:25:20and so on. But I think that the assumption should be that
00:25:24the refugees themselves have their tools, they have activists in civil
00:25:28society organizations who should provide the local and regional public
00:25:31with this information about what is happening on the ground, I mean, considering that there are organizations
00:25:35that will work, human rights organizations, organizations concerned with gender-based
00:25:38violence, organizations concerned
00:25:40with issues of food and drink,
00:25:44or for example in health,
00:25:47and relief and so on. Therefore,
00:25:51I think that
00:25:55organizations in the early stages of these
00:25:58events do not tend to provide information to the public
00:26:01clearly. If they provided the public with all
00:26:04the information, would that put any burdens on this
00:26:08organization? Of course, this is a UN organization,
00:26:11UNHCR, this is one of the United Nations organizations. True,
00:26:15it puts itself in front of a challenge. Sometimes, the lack of cooperation from
00:26:18some countries and so on. But they have
00:26:21in interventions and so on, considering that it is one of the United
00:26:25Nations agencies concerned with refugee issues. Is it exempt
00:26:28from any burdens regarding Sudan? The organization.
00:26:32Unfortunately,
00:26:36organizations sometimes have some roles, I mean, especially
00:26:40in our national crisis, some organizations' roles at the beginning
00:26:43were not positive, frankly speaking, I mean, their roles were not
00:26:47positive. I mean, it's like they thought that this battle would not
00:26:51be like this. But after the situation
00:26:54calmed down, now if you notice, some speeches have started to change, movements
00:26:57of international organizations are changing and so on. But the roles at the beginning
00:27:01were not positive. Yes, okay.
00:27:04Let me move to the next file:
00:27:08the Ministry of Energy. Press Statement
00:27:10No. 3 regarding the outage of the
00:27:14Sedmarawi power plant. The Ministry of Energy issued a
00:27:18press statement No. 3 regarding
00:27:21the outage of the Merowe Dam power plant. Below
00:27:24we present the full text
00:27:26of the statement: The Ministry of Energy clarifies that,
00:27:32generation and national grid management, some alternative
00:27:36power supplies have been provided,
00:27:38thereby providing electricity
00:27:42to large sectors of strategic facilities
00:27:45and some residential areas
00:27:49follows: Firstly, water
00:27:52stations. Ten stations have
00:27:56entered service, operating 24
00:27:59hours a day, including Talha water station,
00:28:02Beit Al-Mal water, and Bahri water, in addition
00:28:06to other stations.
00:28:10Secondly, hospitals and health
00:28:12centers. Electricity has been supplied to
00:28:1515 hospitals and centers operating
00:28:1924 hours a day, including Omdurman Hospital,
00:28:23Al-Nao hospital, Soba
00:28:26Academic, Al-Turki, Ahmed
00:28:29Qasim Bakhri, Bashir, Medical
00:28:33Corps, East Nile Alia
00:28:36Al-Raqi, Omdurman for Maternity, and Zeinab
00:28:40Kidney Dialysis Center. Thirdly,
00:28:43residential areas. Electricity has reached wide
00:28:47areas of Jebel Aulia, Kalakala, Al-Saliha,
00:28:51Abu Sa'id, Umbada,
00:28:54Al-Thawra, Arkowit, North Rural,
00:28:57Al-Jaili, Al-Ramli,
00:29:01and Aweizti. Al-Imtidad, Al-Juraif
00:29:04West, Al-Deem, Al-Sahafa, Ad
00:29:07Bakr, and Hajj Youssef.
00:29:10Electricity supply operations will continue to all
00:29:14neighborhoods and other affected states.
00:29:17The Ministry confirms that shifts of engineers
00:29:21and technicians are working around the clock
00:29:24to complete maintenance work
00:29:27and connect networks as quickly as possible.
00:29:31The Ministry explained that spare parts for the Merowe Dam
00:29:35station affected by
00:29:39to arrive from abroad within
00:29:43three days, God willing. Therefore, the Ministry
00:29:46of Energy reiterates its appeal
00:29:49to the esteemed citizens to rationalize consumption, especially
00:29:53during this critical period.
00:29:55We will keep you updated
00:29:58on developments in the electricity sector
00:30:01first and foremost. Dr.
00:30:04Zakaria, I mean, the issue
00:30:08of electricity, if
00:30:10we discuss it in the context of the war,
00:30:13the Karama war, the militia
00:30:17was systematically targeting power
00:30:20stations,
00:30:22which indicates that the talk about
00:30:26the 17 foreign countries that participated in
00:30:30the Sudan war had among their main
00:30:33objectives the failure of the Sudanese state
00:30:36and the replacement
00:30:39of the Sudanese state with new citizens.
00:30:42When we talk about electricity, this hypothesis seems
00:30:46a lived reality. Are we still facing
00:30:49the repercussions of the destruction carried out by the terrorist
00:30:53militia and those behind it,
00:30:57or are we on the ground?
