What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

A severe fuel crisis has gripped Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, with shortages reported across the city and other areas. Prices for petroleum products have reached record highs, exceeding 35,000 Sudanese pounds per gallon at official filling stations in some areas. This has led to the resurgence of a parallel market where fuel is sold at significantly higher prices. The shortages are attributed to increased demand, a weakening local currency, and the government raising the customs exchange rate used to calculate import duties.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The crisis is driven by the cumulative pressures of the civil war, including the return of displaced residents and the gradual resumption of commercial activities. Authorities are coordinating emergency fuel deliveries via Red Sea ports to mitigate the shortages, though supply remains constrained by global prices and import costs.

The civil war in Sudan has been ongoing, leading to the capital city of Khartoum being the operational center of the conflict.
