Khartoum Airport Reopens After Sudan Conflict

The Khartoum International Airport has resumed its regular flight operations after being closed for over two years due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan. The first scheduled flight, operated by Sudan Airways, arrived from Port Sudan on Sunday, carrying numerous passengers and marking a significant step toward reconnecting the capital with other regions.

This development comes as the Sudanese government gains more control over Khartoum following years of fighting between rival groups. Despite challenges, including recent drone attacks, the airport is now prepared to handle up to four flights daily.

The reopening has been met with joy by locals and officials, signaling a hopeful sign for the conflict-ridden nation.
