Wow! Another good news for Horn Superpower Sudan

At a summit for Sudan, France says it will cancel Khartoum's $5 billion debt in a bid to bolster the African nation's transition to democracy following the 2019 toppling of longtime strongman Omar al-Bashir.

$50 billions? Wow....that would buy a lot of Agame prostitutes :lol:

As Dedebit Grad, it is hard for you to understand what this means.
This is Debt relief, meaning, canceling her debt, it isn’t a new money collected.

አንተ ቆርቆሮ ራስ,
It does have significance for Sudan because this debt is much much higher than Sudan's GDP. Sudan was spending high % of foreign earnings on debt interest payments, leaving little room for capital investment. Writing off debts enables Sudan to invest in infrastructure leading to higher economic growth. Gebito!
