Sudan: Bread subsidy to continue
Sudan says it will continue to subsidise the price of bread during the transition period.
Trade Minister Madani Abbas Madani said the country had sufficient wheat reserves to last until May.
On Tuesday, there were large protests in the capital, Khartoum, and other towns against shortages of bread and fuel.
There are reports that one person was killed by the security forces in the town of Kosti.
Demonstrations in 2018 about the rising cost of bread and other essentials escalated into the mass political protests that led to the downfall of President Omar al-Bashir last April.
