Sudan: Fuel reaches 55,000 pounds in Khartoum
The state of Khartoum in Sudan has experienced a record surge in fuel prices, with the price of a gallon reaching 55,000 pounds in the black market and 44,000 pounds at official stations. This follows a persistent shortage crisis over the past few days, caused by a decline in the supply of imported shipments. In April, a gallon of fuel cost around 23,000 pounds for gasoline and 32,000 pounds for diesel, but by September, prices had risen to 35,000 and 44,000 pounds at stations, and between 50,000 and 55,000 pounds in the black market. This price hike has led to congestion of hundreds of cars and trucks at fuel stations, increasing transportation and goods costs and exacerbating the ongoing economic and humanitarian crisis facing Sudan due to the ongoing war between the army and Rapid Support Forces since April 2023. The conflict has caused millions of people to be displaced and sparked a widespread famine. The government is working to distribute fuel, but the crisis has persisted for five days amid worsening humanitarian conditions and significant economic challenges.
