Khartoum: Minister of Culture, Information, Tourism, and Antiquities Khalid Al-Eisir emphasized the critical role of national cohesion and broad-based participation in safeguarding Sudan and shaping its future. He acknowledged the significant sacrifices made to liberate numerous cities, regions, and states, attributing these achievements to the martyrs, the wounded, the missing, and the concerted efforts of the Sudanese Armed Forces, supporting forces, and mobilized volunteers.
According to Sudan News Agency, Al-Eisir noted that Sudan is still grappling with considerable challenges as conflicts persist in critical areas of the country. Continuous efforts are underway to eradicate militias and restore comprehensive security and stability. This ongoing conflict, he explained, amplifies the sense of national responsibility among Sudanese citizens.
Despite the adversity, Al-Eisir identified a historic opportunity for Sudan to reconsider its core issues. He called for a reformation of political practices on more inclusive and responsible foundations, the strengthening of societal roles in maintaining stability, the consolidation of inclusive citizenship, and the overcoming of tribal, sectarian, and regional divides. The minister highlighted that the conflict has clearly delineated those who aim to preserve the state from those who seek division.
He also cautioned against deceptive media campaigns, paid commentary, and malicious propaganda designed to distort facts and target officials. Al-Eisir emphasized the necessity of bolstering collective awareness and reshaping the perspectives of Sudanese citizens regarding their future, transforming these experiences into lessons for development and stability.
In outlining the key priorities, Al-Eisir mentioned the importance of securing borders, combating smuggling, reactivating national service, reforming the economy with tighter control over national resources and export regulation, stabilizing the currency, advancing technological development, improving public services, and attracting Sudanese professionals from abroad to rebuild a cohesive, just, and stable state.
