Fuel prices on the rise in Nyala

Fuel prices have on the increase in Nyala for the past week, threatening to cause a crisis. Witnesses said cars were lining up in long queues waiting to fill up for up to eight hours in some cases. They said a gallon was now priced at 13 Sudanese pounds, with the price on the black market reaching 40 pounds. They said the shortages were being caused by security conditions in the area along trade routes from Daein to Nyala and Khartoum, with the recent renewed activity of armed groups.
