Sudan central bank freezes accounts of government agencies

August 15, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — Sudan’s central bank issued a directive this week freezing the accounts of several government agencies without explanation on the motives behind the decision.

Sudanese media reported that agencies impacted include Sudan civil aviation authority, Khartoum’s stock exchange, Sudan Sugar company, Maritime Port Authority, National commission for Roads and Bridges, Geological Research commission and expatriates interests body.

The central bank issued a statement today saying the move was made upon instructions from the finance ministry.

But the head of Maritime Port Authority Ibrahim Al-Amin told UN sponsored Miraya FM said that this step is a “routine” one caused by the fact that these agencies have fell behind on their obligations. Al-Amin said that the Maritime Port Authority reached an agreement with the finance ministry to settle their dues.

    The fact is that the Islamists of Sudan are in dire need of hard currency to abort the referendum of South Sudan as well as to continue their genocide in Darfur that is why they froze these accounts to redirect it to the needs of warfare.
