Council of Ministers orders tighter protection for service facilities after drone strikes
Published · Updated
What happened
Sudan's Council of Ministers said it condemned repeated drone attacks on service facilities, ordered stronger protection for infrastructure and electricity workers, and called for broad official and public mobilization.
Why it matters
The cabinet has publicly linked attacks on utilities to a government response that includes security measures and mobilization. That can change how local authorities allocate forces, protect electricity assets, and communicate responsibility for service outages in army-held areas over the next several days.
Asharq reported on November 6 that Sudan's Council of Ministers condemned repeated drone attacks on service facilities and directed authorities to strengthen protection for infrastructure and electricity workers. The cabinet also called for maximum official and popular mobilization. The move is a same-day political response to service disruption and public pressure in army-held areas, and it signals that the center is treating infrastructure protection as both a governance and internal-control issue.
