Saudi companies protest against al-Walid Bin Talal's monopoly to exporting cattle to Sudan

Originally published

Some 11 Saudi cattle importing establishments from Sudan sent notifications to Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Abdullah Ibn Abdul Aziz and to the Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir in which they protested against the Saudi billionaire prince al-Walid Bin Talal monopolizing the exportation of the Sudanese cattle.

The notification said that the agreement ( signed between prince al-Walid Bin Talal with the Sudanese officials ) stopped the interests of several Saudi traders. A situation which forced them to search for the markets of new countries competing with the Sudanese exports including Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Australia and Somalia.
