Sudan's government said it has recovered what it described as large collections of antiquities looted from museums in Khartoum during the war, and it plans to announce details at a Tuesday ceremony in Port Sudan. The government said it will hold an official ceremony Tuesday in Port Sudan, in the east of the country, to announce the recovery of a significant number of looted Sudanese antiquities. It described the event as part of national efforts aimed at protecting cultural heritage and safeguarding the country's historical memory. In a press statement Monday, Minister of Culture, Information and Tourism Khalid Al-Aiser said the aim of the Rapid Support Forces and their allies at home and abroad was to "dismantle Sudanese identity" through a project of "replacement and substitution," a new demographic change, and the erasure of human memory shaped by the long accumulation of Sudanese cultures. https://lnkd.in/gUb2i_tq
