Sudan is a country rich in both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The tangible heritage includes remarkable sites like the Meroe Pyramids, ancient ruins of the Kingdom of Kush, and the historic city of Suakin. These sites offer invaluable insights into Sudan’s ancient civilizations and their contributions to human history. Equally important is Sudan’s intangible heritage, which encompasses traditional music, dance, folklore, rituals, and crafts passed down through generations. This living heritage includes practices like the Zar ritual, Nubian oral traditions, and the craftsmanship of traditional Sudanese pottery and weaving. However, the ongoing conflict threatens these cultural treasures. Many historic sites have been damaged, and the transmission of intangible cultural practices is at risk as communities are displaced. Protecting both the tangible and intangible heritage of Sudan is crucial for preserving the country's identity and history. International cooperation and resources are essential to safeguard these irreplaceable assets and support the resilience of Sudanese communities. Let’s unite to preserve Sudan’s rich cultural legacy for future generations. #SudanHeritage #TangibleHeritage #IntangibleHeritage #CulturalPreservation #ProtectHeritage #SaveOurHistory #SudanCulture #GlobalSupport 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdpUwSiJ

Turkey has converted the ancient Byzantine church, Chora (Kariye), into a mosque. This historic building, which was originally built in the 6th century, has undergone significant restoration work and has now been officially opened as a mosque by President Erdogan. The conversion of Chora into a mosque has sparked controversy among some religious groups and cultural heritage organizations, who argue that the building's rich history and cultural significance are being erased. Despite the controversy, the Turkish government has pushed forward with the conversion, citing the building's original purpose as a mosque during the Ottoman Empire. President Erdogan has hailed the restoration and conversion as a triumph, stating that it represents a return to the building's "true identity".
