Conclusion
To Conclude, August was rather intense. There was massive water floods that destroyed many houses, buildings, and killed many people all around Sudan - may Allah rest their souls. The CNN uncovered the ugly schemes of gold exports to Russia at a time when nearly half of Sudan’s population (18 million Sudanese Citizens) are poor and at the risk of famine, importing products to Sudan face hardships, Bara Road gets closed due to floods, and 8 hospitals halted their operations in Gezira.
The goodies of August were that the Sudanese Railroad network is in the process of renovation, the first Sudanese made PC video game was released in Steam, UCB started facilitating online Visa payments for all Sudanese Businesses, NK Jewelry released a new collection of jewelry, many amazing events, and Peter & Black released a new collection of leather products.
That’s it for this month. Don’t forget to subscribe, and share it with your friends, family, connections, and those who are interested in the topic. See you next month.
Cheers,
Ahmed El-Affendi.
