The Sudanese electricity workers who laid down their tools again on Sunday to demand the implementation of the new salary structure, yesterday lifted their strike after reaching an agreement with the Ministry of Energy and Oil.
The strike that lasted three days, reportedly led to power outages in the Republican Palace and a number of ministries on Monday. People complained of electricity cuts for long hours after the load was reduced to 40 per cent by the workers. The El Manshiya Bridge in Khartoum was closed on Monday and Tuesday in protest against the power outages.
