A devastating revelation has emerged from Sudan’s National Museum, one of Africa’s most prized cultural institutions.
Tens of thousands of invaluable artifacts have been looted, with satellite images confirming the theft.
The museum’s collection, spanning millennia and encompassing mummies, statues, pottery, and ancient murals, is a treasure trove of Sudanese history.
Experts consider it one of the continent’s most significant cultural repositories.
Looting has also affected other Sudanese museums, including Khalifa House and the Nyala museum.
The loss of these artifacts is a profound cultural blow to the Sudanese people, who view them as a vital part of their identity.
Efforts are underway to recover the stolen items through international cooperation.
However, the ongoing civil war, marked by violence and displacement, has hindered these efforts.
Experts warn that the museum’s future remains uncertain as the conflict continues.
