Saudi Arabia’s Leaders Express Condolences with Sudan After Devastating Dam Collapse

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent condolences to Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council chairman Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan on Friday following the devastating collapse of the Arbaat Dam in Sudan. The disaster has claimed 30 lives, with the toll expected to rise.

Sudan is already grappling with the world’s largest hunger and displacement crises, exacerbated by this year’s rainy season. Floods have hindered aid delivery to affected areas, further disrupted by the ongoing conflict between Al-Burhan’s forces and rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

The Saudi leaders’ condolences come as Sudan struggles to cope with the aftermath of the dam collapse. Rescue efforts are underway, but the tragedy has sparked concerns about the country’s infrastructure and preparedness for natural disasters.

The Sudan dam collapse has sparked an outpouring of support from regional leaders, with Saudi Arabia offering assistance to alleviate the suffering of those affected. As Sudan navigates this latest tragedy, the international community remains committed to supporting the country through its darkest hour.
