Sudanese officials say tens of thousands of priceless artefacts were either destroyed or shipped off to be sold during the time the Rapid Support Forces were in control of central Khartoum , where the museum is situated.

The whereabouts of pieces like a gold collar from the pyramid of King Talakhamani at Nuri , which dates to the 5th Century BC, are unknown.

The de facto government of Sudan says it will contact Interpol and Unesco to attempt to recover artefacts looted from the National Museum .

"The war is against the people of Sudan ," Ms Ahmed says, bemoaning the war's human cost, as well as the unimaginable loss of centuries of heritage. She - along with other like-minded individuals - intend to restore the National Museum and other looted institutions. " Inshallah [God willing] we will get all our collections back," she said. "And we build it more beautiful than before." More about the war in Sudan from the BBC : Go to BBCAfrica.com for more news from the African continent..
