As Sudan grapples with a prolonged conflict, e-learning, a vital resource for students in affected areas, faces significant obstacles due to frequent power outages and limited internet connectivity.

The conflict has devastated the educational infrastructure in Khartoum State, with many schools vandalized or converted into military barracks, leaving students in conflict zones unable to return to traditional classrooms.
