In a shocking incident, a number of prisoners managed to escape from the Kober prison in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, last Sunday.
According to reports, the escape occurred in the early hours of Sunday, when the prisoners broke the door of their cell using the tools available to them, and sneaked into the prison corridors and exited through the main gate.
The Sudanese authorities have announced a wide-scale search operation to locate the escaped prisoners, and have managed to re-arrest a few of them so far, while efforts are still ongoing to locate the rest.
It is worth noting that Kober prison is one of the largest prisons in Sudan, and houses a large number of prisoners convicted of various crimes, including political and criminal offenses.
The incident has raised concerns among the local community, as they fear an increase in security risks and crime rates in the area.
In this regard, local authorities and security agencies have called for increased efforts to ensure the protection of citizens and to curb the spread of crime, and have pledged to take all necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such regrettable incidents in the future.
