The conflict surrounding Naga, a UNESCO World Heritage site, poses a significant threat to both its archaeological significance and the workers trying to preserve it.
Director Arnulf Schluter expressed deep concern that 'the situation is really bad,' highlighting the impacts of violence, including workers fleeing and theft of excavation resources.
Naga, founded as a royal residence in 250 BC, is now under threat due to the ongoing civil war, revealing the broader cultural devastation across Sudan.
Despite international calls for negotiation, the UNESCO site faces destruction due to the power struggle between military factions, reflecting a severe crisis for Sudan's heritage.
