The government was previously relocated to Port Sudan in April 2023 due to the takeover of Khartoum by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Over the course of two years, forces under army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane regained control of the capital, culminating in its liberation in March 2025.
Kamel Idris, appointed as Prime Minister two months post-liberation, has committed to the restoration of essential public services. Plans include the reconstruction of hospitals, schools, water systems, electricity, and sanitation networks, aiming to revitalize the war-torn city's infrastructure.
