Abstrakt: The relentless conflict in Khartoum has severely crippled higher education, especially in specialized fields like dental education. The war has wreaked havoc on academic schedules, severely damaging infrastructure, and creating an atmosphere of pervasive uncertainty and stress for students and faculty alike. Academic continuity has been shattered, with courses and training programs facing frequent disruptions, leaving students struggling to complete their studies and gain essential practical experience. Faculty members, too, are under immense pressure, dealing with the dual burdens of maintaining educational standards and ensuring personal safety. This commentary delves into the devastating and far-reaching consequences of the ongoing conflict on dental education in Khartoum, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive recovery and support strategies to restore this critical field.
