Lieutenant General Ahmed Al-Umda Badi, junta Governor of the Blue Nile Region, ordered an urgent livestock survey along the borders.
The sweeping mandate tackles a massive reverse migration of herds flooding back into Sudan from neighboring Ethiopia and South Sudan.
Badi finalized the multi-pronged initiative during a high-level strategy meeting with Animal Resources Minister Dr. Arafat Al-Sadiq Muhammad Ali.

The sweeping plan includes launching the major Damazin Veterinary Quarantine Project alongside dozens of newly financed fishing and livestock associations.
