Um Al-Qura Residents Report No Compensation For Demolitions
Residents in Khartoum, Omdurman, and Bahri report that authorities have demolished buildings, including places of worship, without prior warning. The demolitions have reportedly left residents unable to evacuate or save their belongings. The destruction is described as severe by local inhabitants. Residents in Khartoum's Um Qura area report they have not received alternative housing or compensation following the removal of informal settlements. Government officials previously assured affected residents that alternative housing would be provided. The removals are part of ongoing actions by the Sudanese army in the capital. The source stated that the affected area is not the only one where such removals have occurred. These operations are reportedly targeting places of worship as well.
