I also thought the murderous subhuman muzzie filth hated antiquities, and destroyed as many as they could? Better keep the project quiet; oooops, too late now.
Sudan has some major sites, which have been worked on for a long time (over a century), but off and on. The Islamofascists who run the country were conducting a genocide for over a decade and that has barely simmered down, leaving them in control of nearly the entire country. Qatar is funding the thing, but note that the teams with the expertise will be from Europe and the US, and maybe Latin America. There *is* no one in Sudan with much experience or expertise in the fields needed for this.
