Fears for Sudan National Museum amidst bloody war

Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters have reportedly looted the National Museum of Sudan in Khartoum and smuggled some of its artifacts across the country’s southern border.

Backed by the United Arab Emirates, the paramilitary RSF has been at war with Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) since April last year. 

The SBC, Sudan’s national broadcaster, reported on Sunday that “a large-scale looting and smuggling operation” affected contents of the museum, but it did not specify which artifacts have been stolen.
