Mansour Gaily ayaa sheegay in khasaaraha warshaddiisa lagu qiyaasay $1 milyan, isagoo xusay in qalab, qaybo beddel ah iyo dhismooyin badan oo warshadda ka mid ah ay dib u dhis u baahan yihiin.

The Ministry of Industry says about 1,800 industrial facilities were damaged in the war, including 650 factories completely destroyed.
Sudan's manufacturers are struggling to revive production after fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces halted work at thousands of businesses in April 2023, with owners citing heavy losses and limited capital.
A sweets factory runs at 40 percent
Mansour Gaily's Khartoum sweets factory, which once supplied local consumers and employed workers, is now operating at 40 percent of its previous capacity. He estimated his losses at $1 million, including machinery and spare parts, and said large parts of the plant needed rebuilding. "We are operating at 40 percent of our production capacity because the damage was severe and capital is limited," he said.
Owners describe looting and shutdowns
Abdulelah Mohamed, who owns a plastic products and recycling factory in Khartoum, called the situation catastrophic and said the damaging, destroying and looting of factories was systematic. Sara Elfatih Khalil, chief executive of Al Teital Advance Industries, said her sesame oil factory employed 300 workers before the war, but its warehouses were looted and it remains shut down. She said less than 10 percent of factories in the sector are currently operational.
Jobs, shelves and a recovery plan
Mohamed Haj, who lost his job at a sweets factory in Khartoum North, said the owner cannot restore it and that reviving industry could provide work for thousands. Shopkeeper Abdelgadir Mohamed said the disappearance of many Sudanese-made products has made sourcing stock harder. In August, a Ministry of Industry committee was set up to assess industrial facilities in Khartoum State and prepare incentives for owners to reopen.
