Extra deliveries ordered
Sudan Tribune published the report on 1 October, describing an order issued by Prime Minister Kamil Idriss on 30 September to send more petroleum products to service stations. The move followed acute shortages and long queues in Khartoum and regional states.
Prices and supply constraints
Gezira State raised petrol to 8,950 Sudanese pounds per litre from 1 October. Red Sea State increased pump rates to 7,748 pounds per litre from 7,064. Analysts cited the shutdown of the al-Jaili refinery, scarce foreign currency for imports and import restrictions as causes of the supply crunch.
