Sudan power crisis: Studying using candles, counting gas station trips

Al Jazeera·2h ago·Fear

What Happened

Sudan faces severe power cuts affecting millions across towns and cities. The ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, combined with fuel shortages and global energy disruptions, has crippled the power grid. Residents now rely on candles for studying, fetch water manually, and cannot refrigerate food. Fuel prices surged forty percent in weeks. The Sudanese pound lost twenty percent value. Livelihoods dependent on electricity and transportation have collapsed.
