Cholera outbreak deepens fears for children in Sudan's capital
A developing cholera outbreak in Sudan 's war-ravaged capital has claimed 70 lives in two days, officials said on Thursday, as a UN agency warned that more than a million children are at risk in the city. The Khartoum Health Ministry said it recorded 942 new infections and 25 deaths on Wednesday, following 1,177 cases and 45 deaths on Tuesday. The surge in infections is widely blamed on drone strikes by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that knocked out the water and electricity supply across the Nile-side capital. The capital has been a major battleground throughout two years of war between the Sudanese armed forces and the RSF, which last week lost its last footholds in the capital's greater region. Two months ago, the army regained control of the heart of the capital, ending the presence the RSF had had there since the opening days of the war. The Sudanese capital comprises three cities; Khartoum, Omdurman and Bahri; Khartoum is the name commonly used to refer to the three combined. Wartime destruction Cholera, an acute diarrhoeal illness caused by ingesting contaminated water or food, can kill within hours if untreated. It is easily preventable and treatable when clean water, sanitation and timely medical care are available. But the capital's health and sanitation infrastructure are barely functioning. Up to 90 per cent of hospitals in the conflict's main battlegrounds have been forced out of service by the fighting. The federal Health Ministry reported 172 deaths from cholera in the week to Tuesday, 90 per cent of them in the capital. The disease is endemic to Sudan, but outbreaks have become worse and more frequent since the war broke out in April 2023. Unicef, the UN agency for women and children, said in a Thursday report that 7,700 cases of cholera have been reported in the capital area, including 1,000 of children under five, since January this year. Cholera-related deaths numbered 185 in the capital over the same period, it said. Risk to children More than 1,700 people died of cholera in 12 of Sudan's 18 states since August 2024, when authorities declared an epidemic, said Unicef. The total number of cases stands at 65,200, it added. It said the threat of famine looms over two areas in the capital: Jabal Aoulyah and Khartoum. The two are home to a third of the 307,000 children suffering from malnutrition, it said. "Estimates point to more than one million children living in the worst-affected areas of the state of Khartoum," it added. Of these, 26,500 are suffering acute malnutrition. "For children weakened by hunger, cholera or any other disease can be deadly unless immediately treated," it added. Aid agencies are warning that without urgent action, the spread of disease is likely to worsen with the arrival of the rainy season next month, which severely limits humanitarian access. The war between the RSF and the army has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced 13 million since it broke out. The displaced include at least three million who fled the capital.

Bahri gets CMA nod to top-up capital to SAR 9.23B via bonus issue
The Capital Market Authority (CMA) approved the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia's (Bahri) request to increase its capital from SAR 7.38 billion to SAR 9.23 billion by granting one bonus share for every four shares held. The planned capital hike will be funded by capitalizing SAR 1.84 billion from the company's retained earnings account. Consequently, the number of the company's outstanding shares will rise from 922.85 million to 738.28 million. The deciding extraordinary general meeting (EGM) shall be held within six months from this approval date and the company shall satisfy all regulatory requirements and applicable laws. According to data available with Argaam, in March, Bahri's board of directors recommended a 25% capital increase through a 1-for-4 bonus share issue.

Saudi Energy Firms Post $26 Billion in Q1 Profits
Saudi Arabia's listed energy companies recorded a combined net profit of SAR 97.76 billion ($26.06 billion) in the first quarter of 2025, marking a 4% decline from the SAR 101.78 billion ($27.14 billion) reported during the same period last year. The dip was primarily driven by a 4.63% drop in profits from industry giant Saudi Aramco. Despite the overall decrease, the sector's performance was supported by increased sales volumes across gas, refined and petrochemical products, and integrated logistics services. Higher profit margins were also achieved due to relatively stable operations, improved global shipping rates, and lower financing costs. The sector includes seven publicly listed companies: Saudi Aramco, Bahri, ADES, Aldrees, Arabian Drilling, Al-Masafi, and Petro Rabigh. According to financial disclosures on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul), all companies in the sector posted profits in Q1 2025, with the exception of Petro Rabigh, which significantly reduced its losses by 49.4%. Saudi Aramco led the sector with SAR 97.54 billion in profits, despite a slight year-on-year drop from SAR 102.27 billion. Bahri followed, reporting a 17.64% increase in profits to SAR 532.82 million, up from SAR 453 million in Q1 2024. ADES secured third place with SAR 196.7 million in net profits, reflecting a modest 2.07% decrease from the SAR 200.85 million reported in the same quarter last year. Aldrees posted the highest growth rate in the sector, with profits soaring by 29.3% to SAR 100.1 million, compared to SAR 77.4 million in Q1 2024. Commenting on the quarterly results, Dr. Suleiman Al-Humaid Al-Khalidi, a financial analyst and member of the Saudi Economic Association, told Asharq Al-Awsat that the energy sector remains highly profitable, with over SAR 97 billion in earnings underscoring its strength and vital role in the Saudi economy. He attributed Aramco's decline to lower global oil prices, reduced production in line with OPEC+ recommendations, and increased operating and capital expenditures. Mohamed Hamdy Omar, CEO of echoed this view, describing Aramco as the sector's 'primary engine.' He noted that falling global oil prices, due to weakened Chinese demand, rising trade tensions, and adjustments in OPEC+ production, negatively impacted revenues across the sector. He also pointed to rising operating costs as a pressure on profit margins, despite ongoing efforts to boost operational efficiency.

Sudan's army declares Khartoum state ‘completely free' of paramilitary RSF
Sudan's army has announced it has cleared the state of Khartoum of rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after weeks of intensive battles, with the civil war now in its third year. The General Command of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) said in a statement on Tuesday that the state – which comprises the capital Khartoum, its twin city Omdurman, and the city of Khartoum North (Bahri) – is now 'completely free of rebels'. 'We also renew our pledge to our people to continue our efforts until every inch of our country is liberated of every rebel, traitor, and agent,' said the SAF, headed by Sudan's de facto leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. This comes after Sudan's army secured a number of victories in battles in and around the capital in March, including the recapturing of the presidential palace and major urban centres that culminated in taking back the Khartoum airport from the RSF, headed by General Mohamed Hamdan 'Hemedti' Dagalo. In late March, al-Burhan had declared 'Khartoum is free' hours after the recapture of the key airport, although smaller battles were ongoing with RSF militias in pockets around the state. Reporting from Khartoum, Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan said intense battles raged in recent days in southern Omdurman's Salha area, which was the last remaining major RSF stronghold and home to one of the group's largest military bases. 'The army had been making gradual advances in the Salha area in the past few days until it was able to take control of the area completely from the RSF in the early hours of Tuesday morning,' she said. 'The army also said it was able to recover weapons and ammunitions that were used by the paramilitary, including drones and jamming systems.' After more than two years of devastating civil war that has gradually attracted foreign funding and weapons, control of Sudan remains torn between the two generals and their allies. The SAF dominates the north and the east – including the smallest state by area, but most populous, Khartoum – along with some central areas, while the RSF holds most of western Sudan, including most of Darfur. Where the RSF has been forced back on the ground, it has been trying to inflict damage with drone strikes, including those that have targeted energy infrastructure in both Khartoum and Port Sudan. Fighting has also been ongoing in el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state in western Sudan, as well as some key supply lines in Kordofan. More than 12 million people have been forcibly displaced by the war so far, with tens of thousands killed and many exposed to ethnicity-based violence.
