Sources in Eritrea reported that the agreement signed between the Port Sudan government, Eritrea, Somalia, and Djibouti concerns the transfer of several Sudanese hospitals and clinics to these countries to treat wounded members of military formations affiliated with jihadist groups. These groups have been responsible for significant violence and human rights abuses, and the rising number of dead and injured in the ongoing battles inside Sudan has intensified the need for medical support.
The sources indicated that treatment costs in Egypt have sharply increased. They also noted that some wounded personnel from security forces and units linked to armed jihadist battalions expressed fears of security surveillance in Egyptian hospitals.
According to the same sources, an agreement was reached with these countries to relocate specialized Sudanese medical clinics—particularly to Somalia and Eritrea—to treat wounded Islamist officers in Mogadishu and Asmara.
The sources added that influential actors in Sudan ordered major renovations in Eritrean hospitals, equipping them with modern medical devices funded by the Sudanese state budget. They explained that the supervision of these hospitals is handled by several Sudanese doctors affiliated with the Islamist movement and close to the army, led by Dr. Ashraf Al‑Zubair, who is linked to the “Al‑Sharafa Barakat” group affiliated with the “Sudan Shield Forces” led by Keikel.
Al‑Zubair is currently overseeing the university hospital, while other doctors have been assigned to various hospitals as specialists responsible for treating Sudanese army soldiers and officers.
