Farmers and activists in Sudan’s Northern State have suspended their blockade of the main roads in the state, including the vital links to the Egyptian border. The blockade, that has hampered especially freight traffic since January 9, was set up in protest against sharp increases in electricity prices, however the organisers lament that their demands have been “politicised in some circles”.

The Port Sudan Resistance Committees in eastern Sudan’s Red Sea state continued to close the entrance to the Transit Bridge for Egyptian lorries for the second day on Monday.
