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?
