Sudan river transport loses 250M
The Director General of the Sudan Nile Navigation Authority, Yasser Madbou, revealed that the inland water transport sector suffered losses estimated at around $250 million due to the war, resulting from the destruction of facilities and infrastructure, as well as the emergence of natural navigational obstacles such as rocks and sandbanks, along with water level fluctuations that hinder navigation. Sudan possesses a river network stretching approximately 5,000 kilometers, of which over 3,000 kilometers are usable. This network is considered a vital sector contributing to the economy and connecting the country to regional and international markets. However, the current losses pose a significant obstacle to plans for rehabilitating the sector.
