Sudan: World Bank chief in Sudan with warning

KHARTOUM, 01 October 2021, (TON): World Bank president David Malpass arrives in Sudan for the first visit in nearly 40 years by a head of the development body, and praises the country’s reforms but cautions against “political slippages.”

Malpass says in an address from Khartoum “two years ago, Sudan’s transitional government inherited a deeply damaged economy and society that had suffered decades of conflict and isolation, yet the country pressed forward with bold reforms,” he says, making possible more than $50 billion in debt relief.”

Malpass added “It’s critical to avoid political slippages because there is no development without peace and stability.”
