Libya invests in slaughterhouse in Sudan

17/09/2012
Investors in Libya have shipped equipment to El Obied in Sudan and are working with local partners there to set up a new slaughterhouse. Reports say a tannery and footwear factory could follow.

El Obeid is the capital of the state of North Kurdufan, in southern Sudan.

Reports suggest the lack of a slaughterhouse in the area has led to the export of live animals until now.
