Available for over a year

Getting a sandwich shouldn’t be this hard. In Sudan, a shortage of bread has meant prices have gone through the roof. There are queues outside bakeries, and some people are getting restless. Let’s not forget: in Sudan, bread and politics often go hand-in-hand. It was a hike in bread prices that, two years ago, led many people to call for the removal of President Omar al-Bashir from power. So, why is it so hard to get bread right now? And what does this tell us about Sudan’s various economic problems? Hosted by Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja on Twitter) #AfricaDaily
