How did the museums and the invaluable diodes be destroyed

She used to impose statues of rams and black to stand on the land of the National Museum of Sudan – the invaluable artifacts that the Nubian rulers invaded what is now Egypt to the north, along with wonderful Christian wall paintings dating back to several centuries.

On a typical day, groups of school children were staring at awe of this reminder of the past of their nation, and tourists were progressing across one of SEES that must be hose, and sometimes concerts were held on the ground.

But that was before the war erupted two years ago.

While the Sudanese army reaffirms its control of the capital, after it finally chased its rival to the RSF (RSF), the full range of the destruction of two years of war became clear.

Governmental ministries, banks and offices of offices that were burned and burned, while the museum – is a symbol of the history and culture of the luxury nation – had a particularly difficult success.

Senior officials say tens of thousands of artifacts have been destroyed or shipped to be sold during the time when RSF was controlling the center of Khartoum, where the museum is located.

“They have destroyed our identity and history,” Ihkaks Abdel -Latifa Ahmed, Director of Museums at the National Organization for Antiquities and Museums, told the BBC New Zaez.

Before the conflict, the National Museum was a jewel.

It is located in the heart of Sudan – near the presidential palace, and the meeting of the Blue Nile and the White Nile rivers – narrated a story of the succession of the great civilizations that live in this region over time.

Now, when the museum officials visited an inspection, they were received with broken glass, bullets on the ground and the effects of looting everywhere.

“The building was very unique and very beautiful,” said Ms. Ahmed.

“The militia (the description offered by Sudanese officials to RSF) took many unique and beautiful groups, destroyed the rest and damaged.”

Looting was reported in other Sudanese museums and old sites. Last September, the United Nations World Heritage Organization, UNESCO, warned of a “threat to culture” and urged art traders not to import or export handicrafts from Sudan.

Before the war, the National Museum was under rehabilitation, and many of its treasures were aligned.

Perhaps this is easy for groups to remove.

Sudanese officials say the precious manufactures of the National Museum have been sold for sale.

They are strongly suspected of RSF fighters who took some precious things to the United Arab Emirates (Emirates). They did not produce any evidence. However, the United Nations Experts Committee in Sudan stated that RSF has been exported large quantities of gold to the United Arab Emirates, even before the war.

The United Arab Emirates has also extensively accused RSF, although both parties have always denied these accusations.

“We had a strong space for the gold group, they managed to open it and took all the gold,” said Ms. Ahmed.

“Maybe they keep them for themselves, or maybe they circulated it on the market.”

So the location of pieces like a golden collar of the pyramid of King Talahhamani in Nuri, which dates back to The fifth century BC, unknown.

In response to a question about the value of what was taken, Mrs. Ahmed simply replied: “There is no value for the museum’s manufactures, it is more expensive than you can imagine.”

The real government of Sudan says it will connect to INTERPOL and UNESCO to try to recover handicrafts that were looted from the National Museum and other places.

However, the restoration of handicrafts appears to be a difficult and perhaps even dangerous task, with a little possibility of success.

The government, and other Sudanese observers, says RSF attacks against museums, universities and buildings, such as the National Office of Records, are a conscious attempt to destroy the Sudanese state – but again, RSF denies it.

Amgad Farid, who runs Fikra for rear studies and development, is particularly critical of looting.

“RSF behaviors go beyond mere crime,” he wrote in an article shared by his organization.

“They constitute a deliberate and expert attack on the historical identity of Sudan, and it targets an invaluable heritage for the presence of Nubians, Coptic and Islamic, which extends for more than 7000 years, which forms the cornerstone of African and global history, which has been devoted to these museums.

“This is not an accidental loss in the conflict – it is an accountable an effort to erase the legacy of Sudan, cut off its people from their past, and looted thousands of years from the history of mankind for the sake of profit.”

The story of the National Museum – which was seized by armed men, gold and precious things – reflects the individual stories of many Sudanese in this struggle: they were forced to flee, their occupied homes, and theft of gold.

According to the United Nations, nearly 13 million people have been forced into their homes since the fighting began in 2023, while an estimated 150,000 people were killed.

Mrs. Ahmed says: “The war is against the people of Sudan,” and it wanders in the human cost of war, as well as the unimaginable loss for centuries of heritage.

She – along with other individuals similar to thinking – intends to restore the National Museum and other looting institutions.

And she said: “God willing (God willing) we will restore all our groups.”

“We build it more beautiful than before.”
