#Sudan’s Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture and Information, Graham Abdelgader, said the government has recovered 570 Sudanese antiquities that were looted during the uprising of the UAE-backed Janjaweed militia and the subsequent ransacking of museums.
He explained that the stolen items are part of a much larger haul, nearly 4,000 artifacts taken from the National Museum, in addition to about 200 pieces stolen from the Khalifa House Museum in Omdurman.
Abdelgader said the recovery operations were carried out through joint efforts between the ministry, security agencies, Interpol, and UNESCO.
He added that the authorities are continuing to track down the remaining looted artifacts in coordination with international organizations and friendly countries, stressing that the goal is to restore Sudan’s stolen history and collective memory.
He also noted that before the war, around 40 archaeological missions were operating across different sites in Sudan, but most were forced to leave the country because of the deteriorating security situation.
Sudan has successfully recovered hundreds of artifacts of various sizes from its collections. The Ministry of Culture, Information, and Tourism will announce this tomorrow at an event attended by representatives of national institutions, as well as several ambassadors, heads of diplomatic missions, and directors of international and regional organizations accredited to Sudan.

Nearly everyone in Canada expected Team Canada to dominate the series, but this first game would be a rude awakening.
