Sudan Edges Closer to Currency Split
Sudan’s division is no longer confined to geography, administration and public services. It has begun to touch one of the state’s most sensitive institutions. New 1,000- and 500-pound banknotes, issued by the Central Bank of Sudan in May 2022, have been observed circulating in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces, raising questions about the future of the national currency's unity and the central bank’s ability to maintain authority over the country’s cash supply.
