Khartoum: The Higher Committee for Creating an Enabling Environment for the Return of Citizens to Khartoum State: The Higher Committee, led by Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council Lt. Gen. Engineer Ibrahim Jabir, announced that the downtown area of Khartoum had suffered intentional damage by the rebel Rapid Support Forces militia and its allies. This damage necessitated the relocation of government institutions and strategic sites to new premises.
According to Sudan News Agency, the Committee revealed during a press conference in Khartoum on Sunday that the new locations were chosen based on safety, geographic distribution, and suitability. State-owned towers such as the Minerals Tower, which has been allocated to three ministries, and the Telecommunications Tower, now housing the Council of Ministers, were used for this purpose.
The selections were made with the intent to minimize costs while ensuring that all available premises were utilized effectively. The Committee highlighted that all ministries have been accommodated in new offices except for the Ministry of Environment. The Ministries of Interior and Health were given special attention in the relocation process.
The Committee also confirmed that the Republican Palace has retained its original location to uphold its status as a symbol of national sovereignty.
