Transportation remains a daily burden exhausting residents of Khartoum
The Sudanese capital, Khartoum, is facing a severe transportation crisis amid the war, with transport fares increasing significantly and income levels declining. Citizens are forced to choose between the cost of transportation and meeting basic needs such as food and medicine. The war has caused infrastructure destruction and road closures, leading to longer travel times and higher transportation costs, compounded by a shortage of vehicles, rising fuel prices, and increased costs of spare parts. Data shows that gold exports reached $370 million in the first quarter, while fuel imports exceeded $697 million, highlighting a significant gap between revenues and economic expenses. Drivers, workers, and students are experiencing direct impacts on their livelihoods, as rising prices and increased demand for transportation hinder their ability to work, study, and meet essential needs.
