El Obeid

El Obeid is the capital city of North Kordofan State in central Sudan. It serves as a vital administrative, commercial, and cultural center in the region. Located along the White Nile and railway lines, the city supports agriculture, particularly farming and livestock, due to its fertile lands and water sources. El Obeid also hosts markets, educational institutions, and some industries, making it an important hub for trade and governance in western Sudan. Its strategic location contributes to regional connectivity, but it has also experienced challenges related to climate, economic development, and social stability.
