A Sudanese government committee tasked with erasing Muslim Brotherhood remnants from the country, named Salvation, announced the recovery of real estate and assets worth millions of dollars.
The properties were owned by the state before ousted president Omar al-Bashir gave them away to his regime stalwarts.
Among the recovered assets was the River Transport Authority, worth 450 million dollars.
Committee member Salah Manaa said that the Authority, which was one of the strategic institutions destroyed by the former regime, has been returned to the country’s finance ministry.
The government has also recovered hundreds of residential plots registered under the names of well-known Islamic leaders and their families, with an area of approximately 250,000 meters worth millions of dollars.
Mohamed al-Faki, member of the Sovereignty Council of Sudan, said that the committee has recovered a number of great assets that were sold to former regime stalwarts under the guise of privatization.
Al-Faki, in a press statement, vowed to reclaim public assets taken over by the former regime and given to Islamists.
He revealed that national wealth was distributed among and owned by 2 percent of the population under Bashir’s rule.
The committee canceled the registration of the Anamel charity, and accused it of collecting funds in the name of women and children and squandering them. Anamel had also acquired a number of land plots and buildings.
The committee also recovered 129 residential plots registered in the name of former police general director, Mohamed Naguib El-Tayeb, and 131 other plots registered in the name of his wife, Hind Mostafa.
A day before the one-year anniversary of Bashir's removal on April 11, the committee responsible for dismantling the party-state, fighting corruption and repatriating of looted resources, held a news conference to announce the dissolution of the Islamic Dawa Organization (IDO) and the seizure of all its assets.
