On the first anniversary of Sudan military coup, activists urge yet more protests against military rule, as hunger and inflation throttle the country
Cut off from such aid, Sudan – already one of the world's poorest countries – has plunged into a worsening economic crisis.
Near weekly anti-coup protests have been met with force, most recently on Sunday when a protester was killed by a bullet fired by security forces, according to medics. The cost of food staples has jumped 137 percent in one year, which the WFP says has forced Sudanese to spend "more than two-thirds of their income on food alone, leaving little money to cover other needs".
The country is mired in uncertainty. Burhan's pledge of elections next year is seen as far-fetched. No civilian leaders have taken up the mantle of the army chief's promised civilian government and international mediation efforts remain stalled."Sudan doesn't have the luxury of zero-sum games and political manoeuvres," UN envoy to Sudan Volker Perthes tweeted Saturday.
