SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - FFC slams lifting fuel subsidies as violation of economic conference decisions
Sudan Tribune report that the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) described the government’s decision to lift fuel subsidies and sell them at market rates as a "flagrant violation" of the decisions of the First National Economic Conference organised by the government.
Tijani Hussein, an FFC economic committee member said the decision was amid a “major disinformation campaign about economic benefits of normalisation with Israel.”
He added that the lifting of subsidies upon the IMF’s directive reflects “obedience to external dictation and the application of the neoliberal approach [which is] imposed by the US and its counterparts on developing nations and constitutes…capitalism…at the expense of the poor people without offering them anything but poverty, unemployment and hardship.”
