Nuba Mountains will adopt the new South Sudan Pound as its legal currency.
Although Nuba Mountains lies in Sudan’s South Kordofan State it is under SPLM-North control.SPLM chairman in Heiban County Yunan Al-Barut told a local radio that the Sudanese Pound was phased out and the current war does not allow the people of Nuba Mountains to get Sudan’s new currency.
He said the South Sudanese Pound will be the legal tender in the area.
Nuba Mountains have been blocked from the rest of Sudan since the war between Khartoum and local forces affected to the SPLA started in June.
