[Dabanga] Port Sudan -- The increase in Sudanese passport issuance fees, now set at SDG 150,000 for adults and SDG 75,000 for children, has been widely criticised by a significant portion of the population. Sudan's Ministry of Interior announced the resumption of passport issuance and the restoration of civil registry and traffic data in nine states on Wednesday. The following day, a considerable influx of applicants were reported at passport issuance outlets in Port Sudan.
