Conclusion

To sum up, life in Sudan is currently paralyzed due to the armed conflict that was ignited by the Rapid Support Forces against the Sudanese National Army. Companies and organizations closed their doors resulting in massive unemployment without annulling the employees contracts. Thus, income sources of Sudanese citizens are greatly disturbed if not destroyed. Banks, and Western Union and money exchange branches around Sudan also closed their doors, which resulted in freezing of money transfers between Sudanese banks locally, and with banks in other countries globally and no one is able to receive any kind of money from outside Sudan due to the freezing of operations in Banks, Western Union, and money exchange centers due to insecurity. Moreover, all mobile money applications also aren’t working except for “Bankak” mobile money app. Therefore, all kinds of digital financial transactions are nearly frozen in the whole country. Healthcare system broke down as many hospitals were damaged due to fire exchange and pharmacies stopped working. Internet connectivity comes and goes, water supply to residential areas either stopped or became weak due to damage in water stations, and electricity supply to residential areas also got affected due to malfunction in power stations. All of local and international airlines suspended all flights to and from Sudan. Lastly, both Sudanese local and foreign civilians were killed during this conflict and many houses and apartments were burnt, shot, bombed, or damaged in other ways as a casualty during this armed conflict.

I hope that I would be able to write a more pleasant and positive issue next month.

Please do share this newsletter with your family, friends, and those whom you think are interested in this newsletter.

Cheers,

Ahmed El-Affendi.
