Khartoum: Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), Lt. Gen. Engineer Ibrahim Jabir, has emphasized that there will be no retreat or slackness in the process of digital transformation and financial inclusion. Jabir highlighted the inevitability of changing the currency due to widespread counterfeiting operations carried out by a terrorist militia during the country’s war period.
According to Sudan News Agency, Jabir explained during his address at the Digital Transformation and Financial Inclusion workshop, organized by “Shamous Media” in partnership with the agency, that the digital transformation project was meticulously planned over a long period and is 90% complete. This progress was achieved without external financial or administrative assistance, relying solely on Sudanese capabilities.
Jabir warned that the state will persist with the project until its goals are achieved, with nothing to dissuade or hinder their efforts. He expressed confidence in overcoming challenges and committed to studying and reviewing the digital transformation project every three months.
Jabir also acknowledged the significant role of citizens in the success of the currency exchange process, which was conducted under complex circumstances. Despite the destructive war launched by the militia targeting the national economy, citizens contributed to production and productivity. Grain production for the 2024 season reached 6,700,000 tons, and there was a request from an organization for sorghum export to a neighboring country, illustrating the resilience of the Sudanese state and people against external conspiracies.
Jabir further indicated that following the outbreak of the war, efforts were made to establish communications bases and find alternatives for digital transformations in place of those destroyed by the militia in Khartoum. The service was restored in a short time without significantly affecting citizens.
