Sudan is at the brink of a nationwide fuel shortage as Beja [14] ethnic protesters in the country's east have for weeks blocked roads and oil arteries—including the critical pipeline [10] that pumps crude from South Sudan to the Port Sudan terminal on the Red Sea, and a second that brings imported petroleum products from the terminal into the country. The High Council of Beja Nazirs & Independent Chieftains is demanding cancellation of the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement [11], asserting that the Beja people were excluded from the negotiations. Shortages of fuel and basic goods have sparked large counter-protests against the blockades. (ArgusMedia [15], DefenceWeb [16], Dabanga [17])
