Sudan military council appeals for economic aid

Sudan's military council appealed on Friday for financial aid from regional peers to tackle a worsening economic crisis, a day after the ouster of president Omar al-Bashir.

"We want your donations as we have some economic issues," the head of the military council's political committee, Lieutenant General Omar Zain al-Abdin, told Arab and African diplomats in a televised meeting, citing "a shortage of essential items like flour and fuel".
