El Gezira and El Managil Agricultural Scheme farmers have warned that a lack of irrigation will lead to damages to the winter crops in several sections of the project. Farmers in Tokar in eastern Sudan call for support from the Red Sea government.
Farmer and member of the Emergency Committee of El Gezira and El Managil Agricultural Scheme Faroug El Badawi told Radio Dabanga that the crops will need irrigation for another six weeks. He said that stopping irrigation in mid-March would destroy large quantities of the wheat crop.

Yesterday, angry farmers in the area of Tabit, North Darfur, closed the El Fasher-Nyala road, to protest against the destruction of agricultural land and crops by herders’ camels and livestock grazing.
Farmer activists told Radio Dabanga that farmers from 150 villages had set up their tents in the area of Kedarik, near Tabit, to demand protection during the harvest season as well as the provision of water and medicines. They also called for the opening of a prosecution office in the region and cited the ongoing violations and abuses of the herders.
