Sudan’s railway system, once a vital part of the country’s transport infrastructure, has faced significant challenges due to decades of neglect and mismanagement. At its peak, the Sudan Railways network spanned over 5,000 kilometers, connecting various regions, including the capital Khartoum to Port Sudan on the Red Sea. However, much of the system deteriorated, and services were severely reduced, with most passenger services halted.
Recently, there have been efforts to revive the railway sector, including the resumption of some services, such as the Khartoum-Port Sudan line. The government has been working on modernizing tracks, especially with Chinese assistance, and is focusing on improving freight transport to boost trade. However, the system still struggles with aging infrastructure and a lack of resources, meaning services remain limited, with only a few operational routes.
