Sudan continued to sink into a deep political and economic crisis during the year. Two devaluations of the Sudanese pound (sdg) contributed to major inflation (72%) and cash shortages. Fuel and diesel shortages also hit the country throughout the year. The economic crisis worsened the existing political crisis, reaching its peak from 19 December, as important popular mobilisations started, asking for the abdication of the regime and the organisation of a transitional period. International sanctions from the icc were maintained against individuals related to crimes committed in Darfur, including president Omar al-Bashir. At the regional and international level, Sudan continued its policy of normalisation with foreign actors, including the United States, Saudi Arabia, the uae, Qatar, and Turkey. Russia developed military and energy-related projects in Sudan. The eu remained an important partner in the framework of its migratory policies (eu-Emergency Trust Fund for Africa).
