Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen step out in coordinated black looks for New York stroll Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare joint appearance in New York City, stepping out together for a relaxed afternoon in matching, understated fashion. The 39-year-old twins were seen walking through Midtown Manhattan on April 30, dressed in coordinated black trench coats paired with wide-leg denim. They completed the look with sunglasses, scarves, and structured alligator handbags from their luxury label, The Row, before stopping for lunch during their outing. Long before becoming fashion insiders, the sisters built global recognition as child actors through projects like Full House, It Takes Two, and New York Minute. Over time, they stepped away from Hollywood and fully transitioned into fashion, officially launching The Row in 2005. Mary-Kate now serves as creative director of the brand, while Ashley oversees it as CEO. In earlier interviews, Ashley has described the label’s beginnings as a small ex...

SUDAN HOSTS CEREMONY MARKING RECOVERY OF 570 LOOTED ANTIQUITIES. (PHOTO).


 Sudan hosts ceremony marking recovery of 570 looted antiquities


Sudan is set to hold an official ceremony on Tuesday, January 13, in Port Sudan to announce the recovery of 570 Sudanese antiquities looted during the country’s ongoing conflict, TRT Afrika reported.


In an official invitation, Minister of Culture, Information, and Tourism Khalid Al-Eisir announced that the state will formally unveil the recovered artefacts, which span a wide historical range, from prehistoric periods to the modern era.


Minister Al-Eisir described the recovery of the antiquities as a major national achievement, saying it reflects the state’s determination to protect Sudan’s civilisational heritage and reclaim its cultural property, state media SUNA reports.


Sudan’s museums were extensively looted in the early days of the war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in April 2023. Thousands of priceless artefacts, many dating back to the 3,000-year-old Kingdom of Kush, disappeared during the unrest.


Looted artefacts


According to officials, more than 20 museums across the country were looted or destroyed, with estimated losses valued at about $110 million.


Sites targeted during the fighting included the Presidential Palace Museum, the Armed Forces Museum, the Khalifa House Museum, the Ethnography Museum, and the Natural History Museum at the University of Khartoum.


Authorities previously stated some of the stolen items had already been smuggled across borders, and the whereabouts of the majority of the artefacts remain unknown.


However, since April 2025, the Sudanese government has been working with Interpol and UNESCO to recover looted cultural property believed to have been trafficked to neighbouring countries.


In September last year, UNESCO issued a global alert urging museums, collectors, and auction houses to refrain from acquiring or facilitating the trade of cultural property originating from Sudan.
