Islamic Appeal Organisation: $71 Million in Losses Due to War and Empowerment Removal Procedures
Khartoum – Sudanhorizon
The Secretary-General of the Islamic Appeal Organization, Ahmed Mohamed Adam, stated on Monday that the organization has suffered losses amounting to $71 million. Of this, $50 million resulted from the Empowerment Removal Committee’s seizure of the organization’s headquarters, and $21 million was incurred due to the war and the systematic destruction it suffered at the hands of the Rapid Support Forces militia.
Adam told a press conference in Khartoum that the organization is not affiliated with any political regimes, affirming that it is an international organization and that Sudan is merely its host country under an agreement with the government. He described the actions of the Empowerment Removal Committee – which he referred to as “notorious” – in seizing assets and properties as illegal.
The Secretary-General announced a plan to rehabilitate the organization, which includes the reconstruction and maintenance of its headquarters and other centers within and outside Khartoum State, in addition to expanding partnerships. He noted that a significant number of the organization’s branches have resumed operations.
He emphasized the organization’s commitment to humanitarian work and improving the lives of communities, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, as well as promoting social cohesion and a culture of peace, and supporting education, services, and food programs.
He revealed that aid workers in Darfur states have been subjected to harassment, forcing them to leave those areas.
He noted that the organization is currently working in 12 states in the areas of poverty alleviation and microfinance for impoverished communities, in addition to providing relief in affected areas and safe areas to which citizens have been displaced.
He also disclosed interventions to support internally displaced persons and refugees affected by the war, stressing that this is among the organization’s priorities. He pointed to a donors’ conference to be held in January 2026, aimed at strengthening humanitarian work and highlighting the urgent and dire humanitarian situation in Sudan.
He announced the return of Danfodio Company, the African Council for Education, and the African Association for the Care of Orphans, noting their work on rehabilitating schools and health facilities, and the recent celebration of distributing aid to orphans and widows.
It is worth mentioning that the Islamic Call Organization was founded in 1980 as an international organization, with its headquarters in Khartoum. It is known for its extensive activity in charitable work and supporting vulnerable groups in more than 40 African countries, through five regional offices and 33 missions, where it has played prominent roles in addressing humanitarian crises and promoting education, health and social welfare.
