The Spin

The continued destruction of Khartoum by both the RSF and the SAF is a reminder of the wanton disregard by the country's elite for Sudan historical and cultural center. There must be hope that, in time, once the dust has settled and the conflict is over that a new generation of leadership will break through, seeking to unite rather than destroy the country's very foundations.
