UNESCO members passed a plan Wednesday to help Sudan recover cultural sites damaged during years of conflict. The group voted for a measure called Supporting the Culture, Education, and Media & Communication Sectors in Sudan at its 221st Session. This action aims to rebuild schools, train media professionals, restore cultural sites, and recover stolen artifacts.
The war started two years ago when the Sudan Armed Forces under Gen Fattah al-Burhan fought the Rapid Support Forces led by Gen Hamdan Dagalo. Their battles destroyed airports, roads, schools, and other key structures across the country. UNESCO created a special fund to gather money for rebuilding cultural and educational buildings throughout Sudan.
The Sudan Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that al-Burhan's administration welcomed the UNESCO decision. The government thanked nations that backed the resolution and asked international partners to donate to the new fund. Officials hope these resources will help implement all parts of the plan and achieve its goals for the nation.
