KHARTOUM (Reuters) -In the heart of Khartoum state’s largest industrial zone, an engineer bends over a broken machine with a pair of pliers and a bunch of wires, trying to breathe life back into a production line wrecked by more than two years of war.

People who fled when the conflict erupted in 2023 started to return this year after Sudan’s army retook the capital from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. While fighting rages on in other areas, some businesses have begun picking up the pieces.

“This factory made electrical products with all the components,” manager Asim Alamin said as he watched the repair work in the CTC Group plant in Bahri, part of the greater capital.

“Now we are rehabilitating it. Hopefully we will return to what it was before.”
