...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...'s Ministry of Health on Tuesday reported a surge in cholera cases in Omdurman's Karrari locality and Jabal Awliya, south of Khartoum.
Large areas of Khartoum State are experiencing a severe water supply crisis. The crisis worsened after the Rapid Support Forces shelled three power stations in Omdurman on May 14, leading to power outages in the capital.
Khartoum residents are being forced to use water from unsafe sources, such as shallow wells or direct extraction from the Nile, contributing to the widespread outbreak of diseases.
The Ministry of Health's Emergency Operations Centre said in a statement that ''2,323 new cholera cases have been recorded, including 51 deaths over three weeks, 90% of which were identified in Khartoum State, especially Karrari and Jebel Aulia.''
The ministry also stated that Sudan faces other health threats, including dengue fever, malaria, hepatitis, measles, and diphtheria, with varying infection and fatality rates across the states.
