Sudan stands firm on fuel rise despite riots

AFP – Sudan vowed Sunday to stand firm on its decision to hike fuel prices, despite days of deadly protests and criticism from within the ruling party and from hardline Islamic leaders. Authorities say 33 people have died since petrol and diesel prices jumped.

Sudan’s most popular newspaper, which has been a regular critic of a controversial government decision to cut fuel subsidies, has been ordered to stop publishing, its director said on Sunday. The move against Al-Intibaha comes as journalists complain of repression.
