In the heart of Sudan, across thousands of fertile acres stretching between the Blue and White Niles, the grand agricultural project, Al-Jazeera and Al-Managil, was born a hundred years ago. It was not merely an agricultural project but a national, economic, and humanitarian dream that transformed the Sudanese countryside. It reshaped the relationship between land, people, and the state. This colossal project was established in the 1920s amid major economic transformations in the region. Over the years, it became one of the largest irrigated agricultural projects in Africa and the world. It served as a cornerstone of the Sudanese economy for decades, a source of pride for generations of farmers, workers, engineers, and administrators who contributed to its construction and development.
