A severe bread crisis has resurfaced in Sudan’s Khartoum, which is under Sudanese Armed Forces’ control, deepening the economic hardship faced by vulnerable residents.
Bakeries have sharply reduced loaf sizes while raising prices, with three pieces now reportedly selling for 1,000 Sudanese pounds.
Residents say the lack of oversight has allowed unchecked price increases and other exploitative practices to continue amid soaring inflation.
The smaller loaves have sparked widespread anger as families struggle to cope with rising daily food costs.
Consumers also complain that the quality of the bread has deteriorated alongside the reduction in size.
Residents have criticised the lack of effective health and market oversight, saying it leaves struggling families without adequate protection.
The crisis has added to the mounting pressure on residents of a capital already suffering from a deep economic downturn.
