Impoverished Sudan has for years been grappling with a grinding economic crisis, which deepened after last year's military coup prompted Western governments to cut crucial aid. The October coup derailed a fragile transition put in place following the 2019 ouster of president Omar al-Bashir. (Photo by Ashraf Shazly/AFP Photo)
