A number of basic school teachers in South Darfur have complained of non-payment of their salaries for two consecutive months. This has highlighted backlogs in payment of wages and entitlements to the state\u2019s teachers, workers and employees, some stretching back 10 years.<\/p>\n

A teacher at Mershing locality told Radio Dabanga that out of 15 localities, teachers of 12 localities have not received their salaries for the months of July, April and the current month of September. The teachers have been told by the authorities that South Darfur state is short of financial means and that the priority of spending lies with security.<\/p>\n
