50 Thousand Citizens Return to Khartoum
Khartoum – Sudanhorizon
On Sunday, Khartoum locality employees resumed their duties at the locality’s headquarters and administrative units, in accordance with Khartoum State’s decision to resume work on June 15, 2025, after the forced open-ended leave was cut short.
In his address to the locality’s employees at the headquarters, the locality’s Executive Director, Abdel Moneim Al-Bashir, praised the workers’ appreciative attendance, as they sought to restore reconstruction and resume work so that the locality could return to its former glory as a destination for visitors from inside and outside the country. He stated that the locality had previously carried out emergency work, including removing the effects and remnants of war and cleaning, contracting with five companies to clean the main roads.
The locality then moved to restore basic drinking water services, including a number of Nile water stations, in coordination with the state, along with more than 98 high-yield solar-powered wells, with contributions from philanthropists.
Al-Bashir pointed out the return of education and health services immediately after the liberation, with the holding of primary and intermediate school certificate exams, and the operation of a number of reference health centers. He pointed to the extensive damage to Khartoum’s infrastructure, which had been the epicenter of major battles. This was followed by systematic destruction by the militia of water, electricity, and other service facilities.
At the end of his remarks, he called on local workers to exert maximum efforts to restore work to its previous levels, prior to April 15, 2023, and to endure the pressures of work resulting from the war.
According to eyewitnesses, the 7 localities of the state witnessed a limited return of workers on the first day, but they confirmed that the state received a large number of citizens on Sunday afternoon, exceeding (50) thousand.
Land ports and markets were steadily being revitalized, with buses, coaches, and small cars. Omdurman ranked first in receiving returnees, followed by East Nile Locality, then Bahri and Jebel Awliya.
A Khartoum government official expects a two-year period of transition to regular transportation and the entry of local markets and health centers into service.
The official told Sudanhorizon news website that the Al-Maqran water station will be operational starting on Monday, and is expected to cover the areas of Al-Maqran, Al-Qouz, New Hilla, Al-Ramila, Al-Imtidad, and Al-Lamab, in addition to several old Omdurman neighborhoods.
