Sudanese political parties rejected the decision to lift subsidies and liberalize fuel prices.
On Saturday, Sudanese political parties threatened to topple the government of Abdallah Hamdok if it did not back down from its policy of liberalizing fuel prices.
The Sudanese government’s decision to lift fuel subsidies and raise gasoline and gasoline prices caused anger and resentment on the Sudanese street.
The Sudanese street believes that the decision to liberalize fuel prices will double its economic suffering.
On Tuesday, the Sudanese government doubled fuel prices and said the new prices would take effect immediately.
The price of a liter of gasoline rose to 120 pounds (almost half a dollar), while the price of a liter of gasoline rose to about 106 pounds, equivalent to less than half a dollar.
Acting Minister of Energy and Mining Khairy Abdul Rahman indicated that these prices were approved by the Finance Ministry, after approving a modified budget for the current year, last August.
The government will adjust fuel prices weekly, which will depend on international prices.
He stressed that this decision “is in the interest of the country and the citizen,” and stated that the fuel will be supplied through direct importation by the private sector to ensure its abundance in the markets.
And Abdel-Rahman added that government procedures, by addressing the principle of fair competition, will limit the smuggling of Sudanese fuel to neighboring countries.
