Three years of war in Sudan have destroyed cultural sites and stolen nearly 4,000 artifacts, with only about 30% recoverable.
Nearly three years of war in Sudan have caused widespread destruction to cultural heritage, with the Khartoum National Museum looted and damaged, losing at least 4,000 artifacts including royal Kushite gold jewelry.
Evidence indicates stolen items were removed in trucks by the Rapid Support Forces, likely to fund the conflict.
Other sites, including museums in Darfur and the palace of Ali Dinar, were destroyed or repurposed.
Total losses are estimated at nearly $110 million.
Despite international warnings and efforts by Sudanese officials, UNESCO, and institutions like the Louvre and British Museum to document losses, secure sites, and combat trafficking, recovery remains slow, with only about 30% of stolen items possibly recoverable.
