The Head of the General Nuba Union and former parliamentarian, Mohamed Abu Anja Abu Ras, said the union would play an active role in post-war reconstruction, the restoration of war-damaged infrastructure, and the rebuilding of state institutions. Speaking upon his arrival at Khartoum International Airport, Abu Ras said the union would also contribute to development efforts, support stability and peaceful coexistence, and help strengthen social cohesion among Sudan’s diverse communities. He commended the Sudanese Armed Forces for fulfilling their national, constitutional, and moral duty in defending the country’s unity, sovereignty, and state institutions. He said the military had made significant sacrifices in confronting the challenges facing the country and preserving the state’s continuity. “We return to Khartoum not only to celebrate victory, but also to affirm our role and responsibility in national reconstruction during the post-war period,” Abu Ras said, expressing pride in the resilience of the Sudanese people and the military gains achieved by the armed forces and supporting forces during the conflict. He reiterated the union’s readiness to contribute to reconstruction and national recovery efforts, drawing on its networks and expertise both inside and outside Sudan to support development projects, public services, and community peacebuilding initiatives. Abu Ras stressed that rebuilding the country is no less important than liberating it, adding that Sudan’s recovery is a collective responsibility requiring the participation of all segments of society. He concluded by saying that the liberation of Khartoum marks not the end of the journey but the beginning of a new phase that demands unity, reconciliation, and a shared commitment to building a strong and just state that safeguards rights, upholds dignity, and achieves balanced development.BH/BH
