Sudan power crisis leaves junta-held Khartoum in dark for weeks

A severe power crisis has left Sudan’s junta-controlled Khartoum in darkness and sweltering heat for more than two weeks.

Residents say daily electricity outages last more than 10 hours as summer temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius.

The prolonged blackouts have disrupted water supplies and severely affected the operations of essential facilities across the city.

The Sudanese Electricity Authority has yet to provide an official explanation or a timeline for restoring reliable power.

As the crisis deepens, families are turning to costly private generators to secure basic cooling and lighting.
