The number of buses on city streets has declined, while congestion on inter-state transport has increased.<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">The crisis has not been limited to the roads\u2014it has quickly reached \u2019 pockets, with rising transportation costs and a declining ability to cope with daily expenses.<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Prices surge<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">One resident said diesel prices have seen sharp increases compared to the month of Ramadan, effectively doubling, which has directly impacted transportation fares. He added that continuous price hikes, along with taxes, have made working in the transport sector barely profitable\u2014ultimately affecting<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">The crisis is not measured only by the number of cars lined up at fuel stations, but also by the number of families forced to pay more to secure basic needs\u2014from bread to sugar. Any increase in fuel prices directly raises transportation and supply chain costs, leading to higher prices of goods in the markets.<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">External causes<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Sudan\u2019s Ministry of Oil stated that the price of a barrel of diesel has tripled\u2014from about $78 to $245\u2014due to the repercussions of the war. This sharp increase highlights Sudan\u2019s vulnerability to global market fluctuations, given its heavy reliance on imports, weak strategic reserves, and the sensitivity of fuel supplies to tensions in the Red Sea, a vital route for fuel imports.<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">The ministry noted that it can only urge importers to reduce profit margins to ease the burden on citizens. The crisis reflects a recurring pattern: any regional instability quickly transfers its impact into Sudan, transforming from an energy issue into a broader cost-of-living crisis.<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Under these conditions, wars are no longer geographically distant\u2014they translate into direct pressure on daily life. Their effects stretch from fuel stations to markets, turning external shocks into constant tests of domestic resilience, and making any external crisis an immediate economic burden.<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Previously, Sudan\u2019s Minister of Energy and Oil, Al-Mu&#8217;tasim Ibrahim, reassured citizens in a statement to Al Jazeera Net that the impact of the war on Sudan would be very limited, noting that precautions had been taken to address any indirect effects.<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Amid the backdrop of the U.S.-Israeli war, Iran announced on March 2 restrictions on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz for vessels it described as linked to \u201cenemies,\u201d triggering a global economic ripple effect that impacted many countries, including Arab states.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long line of cars in front of fuel stations in Sudan barely moves, reflecting how a distant regional conflict can quickly spill and turn into a daily cost-of-living crisis for Sudanese citizens.
