Electricity Crisis Paralyzes Sudanese Industrial Sector

The Sudanese Federation of Chambers of Industry reported that approximately 1,800 industrial facilities have been damaged due to the ongoing conflict. Economic expert Mohammed Al-Nair is calling for urgent solutions and the immediate commencement of a process to rescue the industrial sector. Economist Mohamed Al-Nair has called for an immediate start to a process to rescue the industrial sector. He noted that factories are currently able to operate during the day but require electricity at night to remain productive. Al-Nair stated that the future of the Sudanese industrial sector depends on how seriously the state addresses these challenges. He urged the government to coordinate with power authorities to remove obstacles facing the sector. An ongoing electricity crisis is paralyzing factories across Sudan. The shortage forces factories to halt operations during certain periods, such as at night, when electricity is unavailable. The source noted that the sector's survival is contingent on the seriousness of addressing these energy obstacles. The crisis affects the ability of companies to maintain continuous production cycles. Displaced persons from the war are returning to Khartoum despite collapsing services and the ongoing electricity crisis. Mining activities are reportedly resuming in border regions between Sudan, Libya, and Egypt.
