KHARTOUM, April 30 (Xinhua) -- A weak economy and a lingering political impasse have spoiled the joy of the Sudanese people in the run-up to this year's Eid al-Fitr, the festival of breaking the fast that marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Many Sudanese people have been unable to afford the Eid necessities for their families because of high inflation and their poor economic conditions, and some even have no access to shops as protests demanding a return to civilian rule have persisted since the general commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan declared a state of emergency on Oct. 25, 2021 and dissolved the Sovereign Council and the government.
