Bangladeshi workers in Sudan

Tens of thousands of Bangladeshi workers are working in Sudan and most of them are illegal. Until recently, the Sudan government was generous enough to allow them to work despite their illegal status. However, unfortunately, some Bangladeshis were involved in criminal activities. As a result, it is expected that the Sudan government will tighten the immigration rules and possible expulsion of illegal immigrants is also imminent.
The decision of opening Bangladesh embassy in Khartoum should be expedited to resolve the manpower issue. Sudan could be a potential garments, medicine and leather product market for Bangladesh.
In addition, agriculture is expanding here and there is a high demand for agriculture workers.
