a reason for why he'd sacked the ambassador. more protests are planned in sudan against president bush's thirty year rule demonstrations began almost six weeks ago over the rising price of bread and the demands for economic reform and political change of grown ever since mohammed bell reports of khartoum. freedom peace justice and the overthrow of president bashir are the main slogans being chanted by these so the nice protestors but at the root of the demonstrations are demands for basic life necessities but old stations ran out of fuel inflation rates soared bank coffers were empty people stopped deposing money with banks and those who did face limits on how much cash they could withdraw most dangerously bakeries ran out of floor of all the other needs bread can be seen as the main symbol of the crisis doesn't it and yet if the revolution of the hungry. a bust

they did was a journalist during the one nine hundred seventy s. at the time of former president. his life now they symbolize the slow descent of sudan from relative ease to utter this to jewish and. everything was much better they miri was a strong leader we had a recall church to sit in the span was equal to four dollars but now it's crisis everywhere and people have nothing to eat we don't want to know. the origin of that crisis the sudanese government agrees was a shift the country made from agriculture to oil during the one nine hundred ninety s. but the hustle and i mean some of the model the whole india it's called the dutch disease when easy only revenues shift attention away from traditional resources such as farming we've had it in sudan but now we are addressing the problem through new strategies and more focus on agriculture. in two thousand and ten sudan exported

nearly half a million barrels of oil a day but a year later south sudan gained independence and took most of the oil fields with it by then the iconic cultural sector was already suffering from neglect and there was another shift happening there mon as. in the past sudanese households relied mainly on sorghum for food and as things change when the british and i in our government's approach wheat preparing sorghum is towards the mint takes time you know we have to take it to the mills to grind it then we need a long process to cook it with bread on the other hand is handy all you need is to go and buy it ready from the bakery. martin is only a month. wheat bread now accounts for two thirds of regular meals and so that just to give you an idea about how much bread an average family of five individuals in sudan need for the daily meals each individual that i'm here needs six pieces of

bread if i try to put all the quantity they need in my hands. it's not possible this is just the shell of two people. the crisis got worse when sudan couldn't grow or buy enough wheat saudi and r.t. companies got all millions of tons of wheat here on least or purchased land but they sent it out of the country now sudan with its over two million hectares of fertile soil that even oil and the gigantic underground lake the newbie in beijing is begging for outside help to satisfy its demand of wheat to feed the hungry population of nearly forty million. does to say it's too late to come these cards bread will overthrow this regime as it happened before here in sudan. the essence of his words is a code by these protesters david chumps.
