The National Museum in Khartoum, Sudan, has been severely looted amid the ongoing conflict since April 2023, with thousands of invaluable artifacts from the 3,000-year-old Kingdom of Kush missing, including treasures from the “Gold Room.” Authorities accuse the Rapid Support Forces of committing a “war crime” by stealing cultural heritage, while efforts to recover the stolen items continue amidst a broader cultural crisis affecting over 20 museums, with losses estimated at $110 million.
