[6] In January 2020, Major General Yassin Ibrahim Abdel Ghani, acting governor of Blue Nile State, announced that his government is making efforts to address the problems of providing water due to draught in the area.

He allocated 8 billion Sudanese pounds, with support from UNICEF, to rehabilitate Wad el-Mahi's water station, which covers a number of residential cities in the East Bank.

The Savings Bank for Social Development financed the electricity project at a cost of over 121 million Sudanese pounds, and its successful completion is expected to bring multiple benefits at local, state, and national levels.

Acting on information received by Police Colonel Adam Gedo, Director of the Anti-Narcotics Department, the group was discovered employing various tactics, including utilising remote and rugged routes to conceal their activities.

[10] In July 2022, the clashes in the Blue Nile flared up in the Wad el-Mahi locality due to a land dispute that erupted between the Hausa on one side, and Berta and Funj on the other.

The closure of markets due to the ongoing violence has left local residents in dire straits while trying to meet basic needs, as government offices remain shuttered.
