Following attacks in Wau on January 17, 2025, which targeted Sudanese communities and destroyed property, 34 traders sustained total losses of their goods in Hajar and Abdullatif Markets. The Governor of Western Bahr el Ghazal State, Sharif Daniel Sharif, has since exempted these traders from government charges for the year 2026.
