been more vocal sudan's transitional government has been facing an economic turmoil since coming to power in 2019 it's blamed it on 20 years of u.s. sanctions that were lifted in 10 to 17 and the policies of the previous government under vent president. he was overthrown by his military after weeks of anti-government protests that were also sparked by hikes in prices of basic commodities the current administration has promised to improve the economy but after name 18 months protesters say the situation has not improved much but one of the. things are still the same there is no change when bashir was in power the dollar was worth 50 now it's $300.00 we don't know what to do anymore we used to protest for justice and accountability now they've distracted us from that with demands for bread fuel and cooking gas. the government says the scarcity of commodities and the rise in market prices are caused by shortages of hard currency because of limited international trade and exports while the official rate is

have is that there is no scarcity yet there are lines for fuel medicine and breed to get daily updates to know what's the root cause for scarcity no one in the government is boring to what the people suffer and we've spoken to the banks responsible for importing goods and they will increase the amount of fuel tank is imported as well as weight and medicine to ease the situation back on the streets those barricading the main roads say they hope the government listens to them and understand that even if the commodities are available it won't mean much because they simply can't afford to buy them people morgan al-jazeera how did some. still ahead on al-jazeera rotting in i want to die in fact roxanne is having on the u.k.'s export trade class fames of opportunity nigeria looks to make the most from its wasted natural gas.
