28/10/2020: Sudan Tribune - Sudan liberalizes fuel prices officially

 Sudan Tribune reports that Sudan has liberalised fuel prices, culminating in a 400% increase of previous prices.

 Minister of Energy and Mining Khairy Abdel-Rahman Khairy said a litre of gasoline is up to 120 pounds from 28, while a litre of diesel is up 106 from 23.

 The Sudanese government cancelled fuel subsidies as part of an “unpopular” economic reform rejected by the leftist groups but endorsed by a national economic conference.

 The Sudanese Communist Party held a press conference to denounce the removal of fuel subsidies and vowed to organise popular protests.
