Statement concerning Sudan
The Sudan Archaeological Research Society is deeply concerned and saddened by the ongoing war in Sudan which began on 15 April 2023. We stand together with the Sudanese people who have been affected and are suffering as a result. There have been significant civilian casualties. The country’s infrastructure, institutions and cultural heritage are endangered and damaged by widespread armed conflict and instability. Our thoughts remain with the people of Sudan in the hope of a rapid return to peace and a better future.
The Society was founded to promote interest in Sudan’s cultural heritage and to raise awareness of its important place in the history of mankind. Since its inception, the Society, in collaboration with the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums Sudan, has engaged in projects that respond to threats posed to Sudan’s unique and irreplaceable cultural heritage through thousands of years of human history.
When safe to do so, the Society will continue to assist in providing a strategic and practical response to potential threats to heritage created by the present conflict situation. By focusing on immediate threats to heritage it is hoped that potential tragic losses for future generations may be mitigated.
Please keep the people of Sudan foremost in your thoughts.
