NTC Tower, or National Telecommunications Corporation Tower is a building located in Khartoum, Sudan, and is the tallest building in the nation.
[2] The 29 story office building was completed in 2009, construction having begun in 2005.
[4] This tower incorporates solar technologies in the building, for electricity generation (photovoltaics), as ways to lessen the demand for cooling, and light tubes to bring sunlight to the interior spaces.
[citation needed] In 2024, amidst the Sudanese Civil War, the tower's middle section caught fire and was severely damaged.
The parties involved -- the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) -- accused each other of starting the fire.
