Egyptian teachers in Sudan demand pay in Dollars
The teachers of the Egyptian Educational Mission in Sudan announced on Sunday that they will organise a sit-in in Khartoum today, demanding payment of their salaries in Dollars instead of Sudanese Pounds.
The teachers threaten to stop working from today onward, which means that they will not supervise the midterm examinations, scheduled to begin on Tuesday.
The Egyptian Educational Mission in Sudan has nine basic, secondary, and vocational schools, with over 1,560 students.
The continuing increase of the value of hard currencies against the Sudanese Pound in the black market has resulted in a huge rise in the prices of essential goods and services throughout Sudan.
In July this year, the Sudanese staff of the UN-AU Mission in Darfur (Unamid) staged strikes in Darfur, demanding their salaries in Dollars.
