Money injections
Sudan has experienced a chronic shortage of foreign exchange since South Sudan's secession in 2011, depriving the government of most of its oil revenues and fueling runaway inflation and widespread shortages.
Al-Bashir, who made provocative appearances at loyalist rallies in Khartoum and other cities, arrived in Qatar on Tuesday to seek the support of his longtime ally, the Arabian Gulf.
