In a significant administrative move, the Acting Governor of Kassala State, Lieutenant General (Rtd) Sadig Mohamed Al-Azhraq, has issued Decision 74 of 2026, affecting several localities in the state. The decision, dated September 30, 2026, involves the reassignment of various executive directors and administrative leaders. This move aims to reorganize administrative work and improve executive performance in localities across the state.

Decision 74, based on the powers granted to the Governor under the Decentralized Governance Law of 2020, came into effect on September 30, 2026. The decision includes several key appointments and transfers. Notably, Abdulnaser Saif Eddin has been appointed as the director of the Diwan of Justice, having previously served as the administrative officer for the rural area of Wad al-Hilu.

The decision also involves the transfer of several executive directors. Mohamed Khalifa al-Haj has been transferred from his position as executive director of Rural Aruma to a new role. Similarly, Faisal Bilal Hajj Nasser has been transferred from his position as executive director of Rural Wad al-Hilu. New appointments have been made for various localities, including Rural Kassala, Rural West Kassala, and Rural Hamashkoreb.

In Rural Kassala, Mohamed Hashim al-Saed has been appointed as the new executive director. In Rural West Kassala, Othman Hassan Mohamed Saeed has taken on the role. Meanwhile, Yusuf Saad Saeed Reihan has been appointed as the executive director of Rural Hamashkoreb. These changes reflect a broader effort to reorganize administrative structures and improve governance in Kassala State.

The decision also includes the appointment of Hajj Othman Ismail as the director of the Wad al-Hilu crop markets. This move is part of a larger effort to enhance administrative efficiency and service delivery in the state. By making these changes, the Governor aims to improve the overall performance of administrative units and enhance service provision to the local population.

This administrative shakeup is expected to have a significant impact on the state's governance landscape. The changes are intended to bring about a more efficient and effective administrative system, which will ultimately benefit the residents of Kassala State. The Governor's decision is seen as a step towards achieving this goal.

The implementation of Decision 74 is being closely watched by various stakeholders, including local residents, government officials, and analysts.
