Sudan protests : Three dead in 'bread protests'

13 Jan 2018 ( News Bureau )

Three people have died in protests against the rising cost of basic foods in Sudan.

Protests sparked after the government decided to cut subsidies, which led to the increase in prices.

The finance minister says black-market manipulation is the reason behind the recent spike, but analysts blame the government’s policies.
