> WFP/FEWS NET's November 2016 Sudan update says harvests should reduce food insecurity, though new government measures devalued the Sudanese pound and cut fuel subsidies. Retail sorghum prices were stable or down up to 20 percent from September to October but remained about 20 percent above October 2015.
