1935 Coliseum Cinema in Khartoum, Sudan converted to Riot Police HQ in 1989!!
After the military coup of 1989, Sudan's government suppressed cinema...... and the country's cinema screens showcasing Hollywood, Bollywood and Arabic movies were all eventually shut down, and later put up for sale. The old Coliseum Cinema, for example, became part of Khartoum's riot police headquarters.
In May 2022, Bono Cinema, the "first international cinema" in Sudan started showing current foreign movies in Khartoum with a capacity of more than 300 seats.
