Sudan's Ceasefire economy

World Business Report

Available for over a year

With many of the banks shut and people unable to work, but a ceasefire appearing to hold, we get the latest on the economic situation facing the millions of people in Sudan. Rahul Tandon speaks to someone who has just fled the capital Khartoum. We get reaction to comments from the Secretary General of South Africa’s governing African National Congress party that the country could become a failed state. And we hear from Florida, where the battle between Disney and the Republican governor Ron DeSantis heads to court.
