Sudan Travel Out of Reach
Rising fuel prices and a decline in the number of buses in service have driven up the cost of travel between Sudanese states. Ticket prices have risen by 40%, and a trip to Al Manaqil now costs 95,000 pounds, up from 70,000, while the number of buses has fallen from around 100–150 to fewer than 30. Economist Mohamed al-Nayer said petrol prices had increased by at least 30%. He urged the government to cut taxes and fees on fuel and reach an agreement with importing companies to temporarily reduce prices and profit margins. He warned that if costs continue to rise, inter-state transport could decline further. Revitalizing the railways, he noted, could provide an alternative in the medium to long term.
