Sudan Removes 80% of War Remnants in Khartoum

The National Center for Mine Action in Sudan announced today that it has successfully removed approximately 80% of war remnants and unexploded ordnance in Khartoum. This achievement marks a significant step in ongoing efforts to enhance security and protect civilians in affected areas.

Progress in Cleanup Efforts

Colonel Ali Ibrahim Mohamed Al-Tahir, the director of the center, reported that field teams have effectively disposed of most remnants. He anticipates that the remaining quantities will be significantly lower compared to previous stages, thanks to the expanded scope of operations conducted over the past few months.

Plans for Expansion as Armed Forces Advance

Colonel Al-Tahir confirmed that the center has developed plans to expand survey and removal activities in areas recently reclaimed by the armed forces. He highlighted the preparation of a new deployment strategy that aligns with military advancements and the recovery of additional regions. This strategy aims to ensure the safety of residents and create conditions conducive to the return of normal life.

Government Commitment to Civilian Safety

This accomplishment aligns with the Sudanese government’s commitment to reducing the risks posed by unexploded ordnance, which directly threaten civilian lives, especially in areas that have experienced conflict in recent months.
