Fuel prices have risen in several states of Sudan, while shortages have worsened and long queues have returned. The increase affects different parts of the country, with no amounts or timetable specified, according to Dabanga Radio TV Online.

Petrol prices have risen in several states of Sudan, while shortages and long queues have returned to Khartoum, increasing pressure on households already facing rising food prices and the depreciation of the Sudanese pound, according to Radio Dabanga.

In White Nile State, the State Council for the Organisation and Development of Public Transport set the price of a gallon of petrol at 38,805 Sudanese pounds in the localities of Kosti, Rabak, El Guteina and Ed Duweim. It also recommended an increase of 20 pounds per gallon to cover transport costs in several towns and localities.
