The Sudanese University Professors Committee, known as “LAGSU,” has announced a comprehensive and open-ended strike, without any exceptions, starting next Sunday, March 30. This action will continue until the salary structure and the service conditions regulations for university professors are officially approved.
The committee emphasized that the service conditions regulations and the specific salary structure for university professors are rights recognized by the state through its legislative authority in 2018.
The committee noted that since that year, university professors have been working without regulations governing their work and without a specialized salary structure.
It explained that the government had previously issued decisions to begin implementing the structure and regulations, and their procedural cycle was completed as of March 2025. At that time, the technical committee within the Council of Ministers drafted the salary structure, reviewed the regulations, and recommended their approval; only the issuance of final decisions remains pending.
The committee pointed out that university professors have been patient throughout this period out of a commitment to the stability of universities and to strengthening the foundations of state institutions. They sought every possible way to avoid a strike, but their demands were met with procrastination and delay.
