Drug trafficking networks have plunged Port Sudan into chaos, exposing deep insecurity under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s military-led authorities.
Clashes erupted in the Libya Market after security forces launched a raid on suspected narcotics traffickers operating in the area.
The operation quickly spiralled into heavy gunfire, with suspects opening fire, injuring two officers and burning a police vehicle in open confrontation.
The bloodshed underscores widening collapse of order, as armed groups and organised crime exploit instability across Sudan’s war-torn state structure.
