How did bread get so expensive in Sudan?
There鈥檚 a shortage of bread in Sudan right now, which means the price of a loaf is taking a bigger and bigger toll on everyone鈥檚 pockets. But why is that?
Getting a sandwich shouldn鈥檛 be this hard.
In Sudan, a shortage of bread has meant prices have gone through the roof. There are queues outside bakeries, and some people are getting restless.
Let鈥檚 not forget: in Sudan, bread and politics often go hand-in-hand.
It was a hike in bread prices that, two years ago, led many people to call for the removal of President Omar al-Bashir from power.
So, why is it so hard to get bread right now? And what does this tell us about Sudan鈥檚 various economic problems?
