CAIRO - 13 September 2023: The educational process in Sudan has been grappling with severe challenges for several years. Walid Mustafa, the director of Dongola University, stated, "Sudanese universities, including Dongola University, have been significantly impacted by the ongoing conflict since mid-April in Khartoum." However, due to the prevailing circumstances, the Sudanese Minister of Higher Education has postponed the reopening of all universities until October. Adding to the challenge, many universities, especially those in Khartoum, which is at the heart of the conflict, enroll students from all over Sudan. In conclusion, while the future of Sudanese universities seems uncertain amidst the current turmoil, there is hope that with combined efforts and strategic decisions, the academic community can navigate these challenging times.
