Ad-Damazin

Ad Damazin (Arabic: الدمازين‎ Ad Damazīn) is the capital of Blue Nile State in Sudan. It is the location of the Roseires Dam and power generation plant.

Ad Damazin is served by a terminal station of a branch line of the national railway network. However, the train service to Ad Damazin has been discontinued many years ago. Instead the town can be reached from Khartoum via a decent tarmac road and by plane. However, Ad Damazin Airport is mainly served by UNMIS or government flights.

Ad-Damazin is currently the Capital of Blue Nile State, with Malik Agar Eyre as the current Governor. Malik Agar Eyre is the SPLM/A chairman for the State of Blue Nile. The Governor also is the Deputy SPLM to the SPLM/A Commander in Chief Salva Kirr Mayardit.

Blue Nile University (Jameat Al Neel Alazarg) is a public university located in Ad Damazin, established in 1995.[1]
