A Sudanese minister has said that the ICC issue is one of the biggest challenges affecting foreign investment in Sudan.

In a press conference held yesterday, the Minister of Investment Gorge Bouring said that foreign investment in Sudan had been affected by the ICC crisis as well as the warnings voiced by some on the possible collapse of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and added that these two issues were making foreign investors think that Sudan is not safe.

The minister further said that the investment in Sudan was faced with three challenges, the international financial meltdown, the global slump in the oil prices and most notably, the ICC crisis.
