Text of the Decision

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Republic of Sudan
Transitional Sovereignty Council

Decision No. (43) of 2025
Relocation of Ministries and Government Headquarters from Central Khartoum

Based on the Transitional Sovereignty Council Decision No. (153) of 2025 establishing the High Committee for Creating an Appropriate Environment for the Return of Citizens to Khartoum State, and on the recommendation of the Committee for the Relocation of Government Facilities and Strategic Sites in Central Khartoum to alternative locations in Khartoum State — formed under Decisions No. (21) and (40) of 2025 — and in consideration of selecting alternative sites that are less costly to maintain, given the high cost of repairing the ministry and government institution buildings damaged by the war and the state’s current need to allocate budgets to meet citizens’ needs and provide essential services such as electricity, water, education, and hospitals, the following decision has been issued:

Relocation of Ministries and Government Headquarters from Central Khartoum

1. As of 19 August 2025 (25 Safar 1447H), all government headquarters and ministries — without exception — located in central Khartoum (from Nile Street in the north to the railway line in the south, and from Al-Mogran in the west to the General Command in the east) shall be relocated to alternative sites in eastern and southeastern Khartoum, as well as to sites in Bahri and Omdurman.

2. Coordination shall take place between the Committee for the Relocation of Government Facilities and Strategic Sites in Central Khartoum and the Council of Ministers to hand over the new alternative headquarters according to the list attached to this decision.

3. Upon completion of the handover process of the new alternative locations, ministries shall immediately commence their work from those locations.

4. All state institutions and government entities are to implement this decision without delay.

Issued under my signature on the twenty–fifth day of Safar 1447H, corresponding to the nineteenth day of August 2025.

Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council
