Hello there dear reader and welcome to the 33rd issue from Abkraig Dispatch where you will read the monthly newsletter about business, tourism, travel, finance, technology, opportunities, and events in Sudan for October/2024.

HEADLINE OF THE MONTH

The National Sudanese Armed Forces launched a full scale attack on all locations around Sudan resulting in the liberation of many many cities, neighborhoods, towns from the oppressive bloodthirsty sadistic fist of the United Arab Emirates and its armies of the Rapid Support Forces and the Foreign Mercenaries. And the Sudanese citizens outside Sudan started returning to their houses incrementally on daily basis !
