Sudan's Beja tribes announced an end to port shutdowns and roadblocks in the east of the country, Saudi-owned Dubai-based al-Arabiya TV reported on Wednesday.

In recent weeks, the tribes have blocked roads and forced Red Sea ports to close in protest at what they say is the region's lack of political power and poor economic conditions there. 

The closures led to shortages of essential medicines, fuel and wheat.
