Sudan Battles Electricity Crisis and Economic Upheaval
As fuel prices soar and the economy struggles, Sudan's electricity crisis forces students to study by candlelight and residents to carefully plan trips to gas stations.
Sudan is facing a debilitating electricity crisis that has been compounded by surging fuel prices and broader economic turmoil. The country's power outages have disrupted daily life, forcing students to study by candlelight and residents to carefully plan trips to dwindling gas stations.
The electricity shortages have been a persistent problem in Sudan for years, with frequent blackouts and limited access to power in many areas. However, the situation has worsened in recent months due to a combination of factors, including the country's ongoing political and economic instability.
Fuel shortages have been a major contributor to the power crisis, as Sudan relies heavily on imported oil and gas to generate electricity. The global rise in energy prices, exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, has made it increasingly difficult for the government to afford the necessary fuel supplies.
