Food and Water

Inflation has been hitting the Sudanese pound hard and food is not excluded from the rapidly rising prices. Reuters has an article about a response to rising meat prices: boycott. The idea behind the boycott is that if it costs too much don't buy it. Prices of meat have been rising in Sudan despite much of it being produced within the area. While that article mentions that exports may be partially to blame, an article from the UN News Centre suggests an additional possible factor; cattle raids are a direct loss of meat. The Sudan Tribune mentions a county hit hard by bandits after the county was disarmed by the new South Sudanese government.
I also found an article detailing disputes over water resources in the face of a large drought. Conservation of natural resources and concerns over environmental impact as well as problems with multiple countries having claim creates barriers to over-consumption as well as general consumption of water from Lake Victoria and the Nile.
