Hello there dear reader and welcome to the 23rd issue from Sudan Croc Dispatch where you will read the monthly newsletter about business, tourism, travel, finance, technology, opportunities, and events in Sudan for Dec/2023.
HEADLINE OF THE MONTH
After the withdrawal of the Sudanese Armed Forces main battalion from Gezira State under a trecherous scheme led by the former governor and the former leader of the battalion, Gezira State has fallen in the hands of the terrorist militia of the Rapid Support Forces making the lives of civilians who reside there or even try to get out a LIVING HELL due to the horrific crimes carried out by the Rapid Support Forces against the civilians as they did to Khartoum State 8 months ago. Crimes that cannot be fathomed only in the horrific history of the Mongol Army Invasion.
Travel and Tourism
An epicenter for health treatment Sudanese cannot access elsewhere and the country's wheat-producing area -- the impact of the RSF's capture of Wad Medani may have serious repercussions in the days ahead.
