Groundnut and sesame crop harvests in South Kordofan are under “major threat,” said a minister of the state government in an interview with Radio Dabanga. In Central Darfur, livestock is being released early on agricultural land without farmers’ consent.
Farmers are in distress due to a “huge” number of pests, including locusts, starlings, rats, and American worm damaging crops in South Kordofan, farmer Bakri Madi told Radio Dabanga on Saturday.
