The '''Al-Mogran Development Project''' is an over $4 billion development project undertaken by the Alsunut Development Company that seeks to develop several thousand acres in downtown [[Khartoum]] along the spot where the [[White Nile]] and [[Blue Nile]] merge to form the [[Nile]]. The discovery of [[oil]] in [[Sudan]] has provided the Sudanese government with a billion dollar surplus that allows the funding of this project.



Starting in 2004, the project has two main phases:

* Phase I: The Central Business District development
* Phase II: The residential estate portion

The Al-Mogran project, when completed, would have produce {{convert|11000000|sqft|m2}} of office space, 1,100 villas, housing for 45,000 residents and visitors, and jobs for 60,000 Sudanese. The project, however, has received criticism in light of the continuing [[Darfur Conflict]]. Completion was expected by 2014.

With the Sudanese government facing increased pressure to halt the conflict in Darfur, the Al-Mogran project came to a halt in 2007 after the United States included the project management company, Al Sunut Development to the [[Office of Foreign Assets Control|OFAC]] Sudan sanctions list, due to its connection to the Sudanese government.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Mann |first1=Laura |title='We do our bit in our own space': DAL Group and the development of a curiously Sudanese enclave economy |journal=The Journal of Modern African Studies |date=June 2013 |volume=51 |issue=2 |pages=279–303 |doi=10.1017/S0022278X13000207 |s2cid=154513426 |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-modern-african-studies/article/abs/we-do-our-bit-in-our-own-space-dal-group-and-the-development-of-a-curiously-sudanese-enclave-economy/0527A1112484BAD6A545D6277467F861 |access-date=15 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Treasury Designation Targets Sudanese Government, Rebel Leader |url=https://www.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/hp426 |website=U.S. Department Of The Treasury |access-date=5 October 2024}}</ref>
