War erodes Sudanese purchasing power ahead of Eid al-Adha

With just a few days to go before Eid al-Adha, many Sudanese lament that they will not be able to celebrate the holy Muslim holiday properly as the ongoing fighting between rival generals in the country has eroded their purchasing power.

At the "Wed Hamed" livestock market some 152 kilometres north of Khartoum, vendors tell AFP that people have no money for the traditional sacrificial animal served at the Eid al-Adha feast.
