## Description

Unlike a functioning trade gateway, El-Obeid Airport (EBD) today reflects Sudan's war: the North Kordofan capital is the country's historic gum arabic market, yet civil flights are limited or suspended. This strategic rail-junction city, on the line toward Khartoum and Port Sudan, has been under RSF pressure. The airport currently fills no regular air-cargo role. Wartime exports such as gum arabic move mainly by road and rail to Port Sudan (PZU). If conditions stabilise, the rail junction could again concentrate regional logistics.
