In a recent interview with Al Jazeera, Sudan's Minister of Energy and Oil, Al-Mu'tasim Ibrahim, addressed concerns over the impact of the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel on Sudan’s petroleum supply. He emphasized that the repercussions for Sudan are very limited, reassuring citizens that necessary precautions have been implemented to mitigate any indirect effects. Ibrahim confirmed that despite the global energy market upheavals, Sudan's fuel supply remains stable and alternatives are in place to ensure continuity until at least the end of April.

Ibrahim acknowledged potential fluctuations in petroleum product prices due to the war, suggesting that while Sudan has sufficient oil reserves, adjustments in the global market could lead to gradual price changes. He maintained a cautiously optimistic outlook, stating that reasonable balances are expected globally, and that further clarity will emerge in the following days. This statement comes at a time when some quarters in Sudan are expressing fears over possible shortages in petroleum supplies linked to the conflict's wider implications.

Moreover, the Minister highlighted that the Sudanese Ministry of Energy and Oil is progressing with its fuel importation program in collaboration with allied countries. This proactive approach signifies the government's commitment to ensuring stable energy supplies amid potential geopolitical disruptions, which could influence various sectors within Sudan, particularly in light of the current challenges in global energy markets.
