The Sudanese government has introduced new banknotes and mandated bank account openings to enhance financial deposits and support its military initiative against the RSF.
According to Finance Minister Jibril Ibrahim, this measure has significantly increased funding for the army's war effort amid a devastated economy and severe currency devaluation.
Critics argue that the initiative has left millions, especially in RSF-controlled regions, excluded from the financial system, effectively disenfranchising them.
Local residents report protests and economic hardships arising from the new regulations, further complicating transactions and limiting access to cash.
The government's strategy to tackle looted assets has drawn both support and backlash, highlighting a divide in the country's financial landscape.
