He urged the federal government to provide affordable alternative energy sources for farmers to reduce production costs and expand cultivated areas. He also stated that the state aims to ensure Sudan’s self-sufficiency in wheat seeds next year.
He highlighted the victories of the armed forces and their allied forces in the battlefields, as well as the liberation of Khartoum.
