Sudan's Transitional Leader, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has been conducting unannounced visits to various facilities and institutions, yielding positive results and revealing areas for improvement. His recent visit to the Bahri Industrial Zone shed light on the significant challenges facing the industrial sector, emphasizing the need for urgent solutions. The visit showcased the extent of damage and looting in the area, with many factories still closed and struggling to recover from the effects of the war.
The Bahri Industrial Zone suffered greatly during the early days of the war, with widespread looting and vandalism reported. Many factories were stripped of their equipment, vehicles, and products, forcing some owners to emigrate abroad. The visit by al-Burhan highlighted the need for support and revitalization of the industrial sector, which is crucial for the country's economic recovery. The Transitional Leader's visits aim to identify areas requiring attention and boost morale.
Al-Burhan's visits have also extended to other institutions, including land offices, civil registry departments, and examination centers. These institutions often face challenges, including congestion and inefficiency. The visits aim to address these issues and improve services for citizens. Additionally, the condition of rapid transportation routes and the performance of local government directors have been highlighted as areas requiring attention.
The recent visit to the Bahri Industrial Zone revealed that hundreds of factories remain closed, and the effects of the war and looting are still evident. The Transitional Leader's efforts to address these challenges are seen as crucial in supporting the industrial sector and promoting economic growth. Sudan's economic recovery is heavily dependent on the revival of its industrial sector.
In a separate development, the Minister of Human Development and General Secretary of the Federal Diwan of Zakat in River Nile State announced the establishment of a special fund for journalists. The fund aims to support journalists and media professionals affected by the war, who often face difficult living conditions.
