In the last three years, the deadly civil war tearing through Sudan has not only decimated its population but also destabilized the nation’s culture, history, and identity. On top of the more than 150,000 people killed and millions displaced, the looting and destruction of cultural heritage objects, artifacts, archaeological sites, and museums threatens to distort the past and present beyond recognition, fracturing Sudan’s future. Earlier this week, NBC News reported that over 60% of the Sudan National Museum’s holdings had been looted in the two years that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces had control over the capital city of Khartoum. That statistic came from Ghalia Jar Al-Nabi, director of the General Authority for Antiquities and Museums, who said that the plundered works “are not merely inanimate objects, but represent a people’s history and a nation’s entity.” To read the story by rhea.nayyar, visit our link in bio. . . .
