Sudan's archaeological treasures are being systematically looted amidst ongoing conflict between rival military factions, with the Sudan National Museum in Khartoum suffering significant losses. UNESCO has declared the threat to Sudan's cultural heritage at an unprecedented level, with reports of looting affecting museums, archaeological sites, and private collections. The museum, which houses ancient artifacts from various eras, including the Palaeolithic and Pharaonic periods, is currently in an area controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who are accused of orchestrating the thefts. Satellite imagery has revealed large trucks transporting looted artifacts towards border areas, particularly near South Sudan. The extent of the looting remains uncertain as access to the museum is restricted, complicating efforts to assess the damage. The situation highlights the intersection of warfare and cultural heritage, raising alarms among international organizations and archaeologists alike.
