SAF restrictions choke trade routes to Kordofan and Darfur

Severe supply restrictions imposed by General Abdel Fattah al Burhan-controlled Sudan Armed Forces have choked key trade routes leading to the Kordofan and Darfur regions.

Commercial trucks carrying food and fuel for civilians risk immediate confiscation, while drivers face harsh legal penalties under emergency laws.

Authorities say the measures are aimed at preventing supplies from reaching areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces.

Local traders reject the claim, insisting their cargoes are solely intended for civilians struggling through a worsening economic crisis.

Soaring inflation has pushed the cost of basic goods to record levels, with a sack of onions now selling for two million Sudanese pounds.

Trade routes have remained cut off since March, deepening isolation and putting millions of people at greater risk as the conflict continues.
