تاريخ الاتصالات فى السودان

بدأت الاتصالات في السودان منذ عام 1859م وكانت هذه البداية باتصالات سلكية بمدينة سواكن الواقعة على شاطئ البحر الأحمر في حدود السودان الشرقية حيث أن مدينة سواكن كانت آنذاك ذات أهمية تجارية وميناء للبلاد. ولقد لعبت الصدفة دوراً في دخول الاتصالات وذلك عندما انشأت بريطانيا خطاً لربطها بمستعمراتها في شمال وشرق افريقيا انتهاءً بالهند، حيث بدأ الكيبل البحري من بريطانيا ماراً بجبل طارق بشمال افريقيا ـ والاسكندرية ميناء مصر على البحر الأبيض المتوسط مروراً بقناة السويس على البحر الأحمر بالبحر الأبيض المتوسط ثم سواكن ميناء السودان على البحر الأحمر، ثم إلى الهند ثم اسطنبول بتركيا. في عام 1866م تم مد خط تلغراف لربط مصر والسودان مروراً بوادي حلفا ـ دنقلا، حيث وصل الخط التلغرافي إلى الخرطوم بحري في عام 1870م ثم إلى الخرطوم عبر كيبل نهري عبر النيل الأزرق. وفي عام 1871م تم مد خط من مدينة سواكن في الشرق إلى مدينة كسلا، وبدأت خطوط التلغراف في الانتشار شرقاً وغرباً في عهد اسماعيل باشا (1873م) حيث وصلت مدينة الأبيض في ولاية كردفان عام 1874م وإلى مدينة فوجا غرباً وبالتحديد بدارفور عام 1875م. وفي خضم هذا ...

This feast was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 and is observed on this Sunday as it helps us to meditate on Christ the King and Lord and at the same time reflect on the Second and Final Coming of Christ, the last Judgment, and the end of the world.
