The Sudanese police have launched an aerial surveillance operation using drones to help restore security in vulnerable areas of Khartoum. The initiative aims to curb growing lawlessness by deploying joint security patrols and securing key border crossings in the capital.
According to police spokesperson Brigadier General Fath Al-Rahman Mohamed Al-Tom, the operation involves regular drone patrols covering Khartoum’s borders and checkpoints.
He stated that these drone flights will provide real-time data on the security situation, enabling joint forces to respond quickly to threats in fragile zones and identify locations with negative activity.
Al-Tom emphasized that security campaigns will continue across the capital in line with a strategy developed by the Police Command, which he said has already contributed to improved stability and safety in the city.
Despite these efforts, residents in several areas of Khartoum continue to report rising insecurity, with shops and homes frequently targeted by armed criminals.
Earlier, the Sudanese police deployed thousands of officers to secure government and diplomatic facilities after declaring the capital free of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) presence.
They also announced the relocation of their administrative operations from Port Sudan back to Khartoum — the first such move since the outbreak of war in the country.
