Sudanese in Bahrain Erupt in Fury: Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Passports Under Fire
Sudanese Community in Bahrain Faces Turmoil Over Passport Fees
The Sudanese community in Bahrain is currently facing a state of turmoil and intense anger towards the Ministry of Finance in Port Sudan. This anger has been sparked by the arrival of the passport delegation to Bahrain, which has refused to work on issuing passports for residents who had already paid the full fees before the war.
The passport delegation claims that the Ministry of Finance in Port Sudan is demanding the passport fees again, despite the fact that citizens had already paid them before the war. This decision has been met with widespread disapproval and anger from the Sudanese community in Bahrain.
Citizens are struggling to understand why they are being asked to pay the fees again, especially considering the high costs involved. The cost of issuing a new passport is approximately $300, while validating a Bahraini birth certificate at the Sudanese embassy costs over $50. Additionally, issuing a new Sudanese birth certificate for a child costs around $40, and the passport fees for each new child are also around $300.
The Sudanese community in Bahrain is facing significant financial difficulties, with many relying on God to provide for their families. The start of the new academic year has added to their financial burdens, with many struggling to afford school supplies and clothes for their children.
The Sudanese embassy in Bahrain has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with many feeling that it has failed to protect their rights. Citizens are calling for the embassy to apologize and help resolve the issue by contacting the Minister of Finance in Port Sudan, Dr. Gabriel Ibrahim.
Many are left wondering why the government is making such reckless decisions, which are causing harm to its citizens. The absence of national conscience and mercy in dealing with citizens has been particularly criticized.
