22 December 2021 – Children are being forced to work long hours in Sudan as the country’s economic and humanitarian crisis continues to deteriorate, Save the Children said.

In the early hours of October 25th, the Transitional Military Council took measures against the civilian cabinet of the Transitional Government of Sudan.  Arresting several ministers and the Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok, Sudan experienced and faced a major political change in government leading to social and political unrest.

A nationwide state of emergency was announced. Communications were disrupted. Freedom of mobility was restricted.

"إن بناء الدولة يبدأ بالتعليم ؛ والأطفال في المستقبل سيكونون هم المسؤولون عن بناء الاقتصاد" قالت تيريز لوكين غيزيل، سفيرة النرويج في السودان ، التي أعربت عن التزام النرويج بدعم انتقال السودان إلى جمهورية ديمقراطية شاملة.

"علينا التأكد بشكل الخاص من حصول الفتيات على هذا التعليم لأنهن لا يتلقون نفس الفرص من حيث امكانية التسجيل والحضور."

Save the Children with funding from the European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid is implementing Education in Emergencies program in Rokero, Golo and Nertiti in Sudan.
