Review text

The author attempts to present recommendations for developing the renewable energy sector in Sudan; however, does a very poor job.

The article suffers immense issues and misses numerous critcial elements. It is not suitable for publication and requires major revision and resubmission as a new manuscript.

The main weakenesses:

- There is no abstract in the manuscript. The abstract submitted through the submission is merely the first few sentences of the introduction heading.

- The introduction and literature are very brief with very few citations!

- There are major issues in organizing content in the manuscript

- The author doesn't review in a critical manner the current energy situation in Sudan, doesn't present findings from previous studies, presents only a few statistics, and overall presents a shallow descriptive analysis which is not supported by evidence from the literature

- Several figures are in Arabic which is not acceptable and breaches the publication policies of the journal

- The article is very short and should be expanded to be at least 4000 words

- Extensive English proof-reading is required

Suggestions for improvement:

- Conduct a better literature review. The author should refer to the latest reports by IRENA, The World Bank, and peer-reviewed papers

- Organize the content; starting with a situations and gap analysis, and then recommendations.

- Support your proposed recommendations with experiences of similar countries.

- Analysis should more quantitative
