Major disruption comes as protesting Beja tribe from eastern Sudan closes the crucial Red Sea Port.
Sudan’s government warned the country is running out of life-saving medicines, fuel, and wheat stocks because of the closure of its main port in the east of the country during ongoing protests.
In recent weeks, demonstrators from the Beja tribe have blocked roads around Port Sudan and forced Red Sea ports to close, protesting against what they say is a lack of political power and poor economic conditions.
In a statement released on Sunday, the cabinet acknowledged eastern Sudan’s “just cause” and stressed the right to peaceful protest, but warned the closure of the port and highways connecting the region with the rest of the country was “harming the interest of all Sudanese”.
