“The Sudanese people are suffering during this period from the horrors of war and the fires of political differences, as Sudan has reached the stage of war between the Rapid Support Forces led by Hemeti and the Sudanese army led by al-Burhan.”

Because of the ongoing war in the country, the Sudanese people are suffering from multiple crises, most notably the lack of basic needs in the country. Suffering with food, drink, and medicine, and the start of the war in the third week, a new crisis appears on the scene, which is the “temporary employment crisis”.

Millions in Sudan work as daily wage earners and suffer

International media highlighted the multiple crises of the Sudanese people during this period under the shadow of clashes and violent fighting and the effects of this on the millions in Sudan who work daily as a result of working in the daily labor market to earn a living, which puts them in an unenviable position due to the deteriorating economic conditions in Sudan and the war that has made things worse.

“Daily workers are the largest group in Sudan – drivers, vendors, construction workers, and maintenance shops – yet they live and stay indoors during this period, estimated at 10-12 million, with the report saying work has been on hold since the conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF began.”

According to Newsweek International, drivers in Sudan may be afraid to park their cars for fear of theft due to the prevalence of looting, which has stopped them from working, leaving families in need of food and other necessities behind.

A Major Vendor Crisis

There is no buying and selling at all, no transport of goods, and young children are starving because of the lack of electricity and water, and the stoppage of flour supplies and bakeries; This has created a crisis due to the conflict, according to the Western report.

Men and young men are sleeping in their homes because of work stoppages and street closures, and the price of goods has risen by more than 200% as there are no petrol stations for cars transporting goods and vegetables. This is why the citizens are demanding a major truce and a ceasefire.

Sudan is also suffering from a child labor crisis, with 52 percent of its children working in the daily labor sector out of school as a result of the country’s prewar economic conditions.
