Warnings of Closing Sheep Exports to Saudi Arabia
Sudan Events – Rehab Abdullah
Former Livestock Division rapporteur Khaled Wafi said that the Saudi authorities’ return of livestock ships to Sudan confirms the existence of corruption in quarries and veterinary health procedures, in addition to corruption in commercial records that work for tax evasion and loss of export revenues. In addition, the other effect of returning livestock is a detriment to the state’s reputation. After repeatedly returning more than 53 ships for the same reason.
He considered it unnatural and a kind of recklessness and manipulation of the Sudanese economy.
He stressed in his interview with Sudan Events that it leads to uncertainty among those wishing to work.
Wafi warned of the consequences of Saudi Arabia closing sheep exports, due to the recurring problem of immunodeficiency, revealing that Saudi Arabia said that if 7 ships are returned during the year, exports will be closed for a year, indicating that this ship that was returned is No. 6 so far.
The Saudi authorities returned the cargo of the ship (Biniyas 1) to Sudan, amounting to 14,904 heads of sheep, and attributed the reason for the return – according to a letter obtained by Sudan Events- to address the sheep’s violation of the requirements for the effectiveness of vaccination for Rift Valley fever.
