On the Closure of Port Sudan and the Highway Connecting to Khartoum

Reference : Letter of the Directorate General for International Trade in Services of the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye dated 07.10.2021 and numbered 67974125.

The referenced letter states that members of the Beja Tribes of Eastern Sudan have started an uprising, causing activities at Port Sudan to come to a halt, in order to protest the political authority vacuum and poor economic conditions in the region, that they have closed the highway connecting to Khartoum, and that large amounts of demurrage charges have arisen because customs procedures could not be carried out for containers unloaded at the port before the closure of the said port; and it is stated that it is deemed beneficial for our exporters to request a re-evaluation from the agencies delivering the goods due to the force majeure situation and to make shipments while monitoring the situation in Sudan.

We kindly request your information.
