Sudan Events – Follow-ups
A member of the Sovereign Council and Assistant Commander-in-Chief, General Ibrahim Jaber, along with the Federal Minister of Urban Development Salah Hamid Ismail and Khartoum’s governor Ahmed Osman, inspected several locations and facilities in the state, including Shambat Bridge, the Omdurman military area, the Grand Market, and the Teaching Hospital.
They assessed the damage caused to Shambat Bridge due to the deliberate targeting by the rebel militia of public facilities, services, and civilian properties.
