The smuggling of female camels violates the Sovereignty Council’s decision prohibiting its export in general, as it poses a threat to economic resources and the country’s wealth.
Khartoum: AlTaghyeer
The Sudanese authorities revealed that they had thwarted an attempt to smuggle 60 female camels abroad through the northern borders of the Red Sea State in the east of the country.
A single female camel is estimated to be worth $10,000 according to the Livestock Exporters Division in Sudan.
The Sudanese police said in a statement today, Thursday, that the Anti-Smuggling Department in the Red Sea State had thwarted an attempt to smuggle female camels out of the country at the northern borders of the Red Sea State.
The smuggled camels were retrieved through the operations carried out by the state’s anti-smuggling forces.
Tens of thousands of Sudanese cattle are smuggled into the Arab Republic of Egypt across the country’s northern borders.
The director of the Anti-Smuggling Department in the Red Sea, Abdel Wahab Musa, said in a statement that the export of female camels violates the Sovereignty Council’s decision to ban the export of female camels in general, which poses a danger and a threat to the economic resources and wealth of the country.
He assured of the continuation of land and sea rafting operations to help “protect the country and preserve the economy.”
