Sudan faces a long road to integration in the global financial system after the World Bank said it will not consider the country for more lending or debt relief until it clears arrears of $16 billion owed to creditors.
The World Bank's Country Director for Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan and South Sudan, Kari Turk, said it would be difficult for international financial institutions to provide any support to Khartoum at the moment.
