Markets and Schools Slowly Return to Life in Sudan’s Damazin

Activity is gradually returning to markets and schools in Damazin, the capital of Sudan’s Blue Nile region, despite the continuing impact of war.

The tentative revival in the southern Sudanese city comes amid destruction and persistent security and economic difficulties. Those pressures continue to complicate the return to everyday life.

Markets are beginning to regain activity, while schools are also seeing a gradual resumption. The return remains partial rather than a restoration of normal conditions.

Damazin’s renewed movement offers a sign of daily life re-emerging under difficult circumstances. But the consequences of the conflict continue to weigh on the city as it seeks to recover.
