The Kenana Sugar Company in Sudan has issued letters of dismissal against more than 700 employees of the company without giving reasons, while sources within the company predict that up to 1,000 people – half of the company workforce – are slated for dismissal.
Jalal Ali Abdallah, a former supervisor in the company, said in an interview with the Sudan Today programme on Radio Dabanga, that the letters of dismissal are issued sequentially and almost daily. They include all the company’s departments and extend to various job grades.
