Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo said western Sudan’s transitional authorities would compensate war victims and expand support for struggling communities after months of conflict.
Speaking in a televised address on Thursday, Dagalo said agricultural production could eventually double, despite the destruction carved across Sudan’s economic landscape.
He announced planned restrictions on livestock and crop exports to block foreign currency flows benefiting junta leadership based in Port Sudan during the conflict.
Dagalo described the measures as part of broader economic arrangements to manage resources in territories controlled by his administration during wartime conditions.
He said alternative systems for selling and purchasing livestock and crops were being prepared as authorities reshape trade networks under their control.
The war has bruised nearly every sector of society, Dagalo said, while businesses continue supporting families displaced and impoverished by fighting.
He pledged future compensation for producers affected by economic losses, describing recovery efforts as essential for rebuilding shattered local livelihoods.
Dagalo also said specialised medical teams had arrived to treat wounded civilians and fighters as hospitals manage growing numbers of critical cases.
He added that contracts had been signed with hospitals to ensure continued treatment, calling medical care for the injured an immediate priority.
Beyond the battlefield’s smoke and ruined streets, Dagalo announced an initiative supporting children whose education was disrupted by the war.
The programme initially targeted 500 students before expanding to 50,000 after authorities reviewed the scale of hardship facing affected families.
Dagalo said the initiative reflected a broader responsibility to protect communities carrying the heaviest burden of Sudan’s prolonged and devastating conflict.
