Khartoum markets hit by power outages
The Omdurman market in Sudan is facing a severe crisis due to ongoing power outages. This has resulted in daily losses estimated at around 3 million Sudanese pounds (approximately $5,000), along with widespread impacts on traders' ability to preserve goods and maintain their activities. The electrical outages have caused spoilage of goods and equipment failures, leading to increased operating costs and a rise in prices for food and meat products, while consumer demand has declined. The deterioration of the electricity infrastructure caused by the ongoing war since April 2023 is a major reason for this crisis, with some areas experiencing more than 12 hours of power outages daily, which harms the local economy and worsens the suffering of both citizens and traders.
