Khartoum State Governor Abdel Rahman Khedr dissolved his Cabinet as part of Sudan’s austerity measures, which have sparked five days of student protests.
Khedr said in an interview that he decided yesterday to dissolve the government of the state that houses the capital to comply with measures President Umar al-Bashir announced June 18 to cope with the loss of about 75 percent of the country’s oil output when South Sudan seceded in July.
