Saudi Arabia to supply Sudan with millions of tons of oil for the next five years


Saudi Arabia will supply Sudan with millions of tons of oil for the next five years to help it tackle a growing energy crisis. 

Sudan has been hit with an acute fuel crisis for weeks now, sending black market prices surging in Khartoum, as residents queue outside fuel stations for hours.  

In a bid to resolve the crisis, a Sudanese delegation led by the Oil Minister, Abdul Rahman Osman visited Riyadh last week. 

The financing of the deal is to be facilitated by Saudi Development Bank, without giving financial details of the agreement or when the first oil delivery is expected. 

The Sudanese government says an agreement has been drafted between the two countries.
