Khartoum — Sudanese economist Mohamed Ibrahim Kebej has accused the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) of "squandering" $70 billion of oil revenues between 2000 and 2011. He warned that Sudan's debts will "weigh heavily on future generations", and called Khartoum's financial policies a crime against Sudan.

In a paper presented at a seminar on economic developments in Sudan, convened in Khartoum on Sunday, senior economist Mohamed Ibrahim Kebej stated that the NCP government received more than $70 billion of oil revenues between late 1999, when it started exporting crude oil, until the secession of South Sudan in July 2011.
