UNESCO to Protect Sudanese Heritage

Khartoum – Sudan Events

UNESCO agreed to take the necessary measures for urgent protection of Sudanese cultural heritage, including five Sudanese museums which were affected by the ongoing war.

Prominent Sudanese artist and producer, who is at the same time UNESCO Ambassador for Peace, Ali Mahdi said UNESCO responded to Sudan’s request and agreed to implement two intervention projects through its Emergency Fund to protect the Sudanese cultural heritage and provide support to Sudanese artists.
The urgent procedures aim at inspecting five museums in order to evaluate the damages and complete the technical work of maintenance.

UNESCO will also establish a centre for the artists in Port Sudan to provide opportunities for all related activities.
