A worsening fuel crisis has disrupted daily life across several regions of Sudan, bringing transportation services and other essential activities to a standstill.
In Al-Jazirah State, streets in the city of Al-Manaqil were largely deserted as a severe shortage of gasoline forced many vehicles off the roads.
The disruption follows the introduction of new fuel import regulations by the junta-led Ministry of Energy, which have sparked confusion among the public and uncertainty in local markets.
In Kassala State, petrol stations shut down unexpectedly, leaving residents struggling to secure fuel amid allegations that supplies are being deliberately withheld.
Local security officials described the situation as critical, citing a lack of effective oversight as a key factor behind the growing crisis.
In Omdurman, motorists have been queuing for hours before sunrise in an effort to obtain limited fuel supplies.
Many service stations have closed early, placing barriers and other obstacles at their entrances to prevent large crowds from gathering as shortages intensify.
