Saudi Arabia will lend Sudan 487 million riyals ($130 million) to support education and health services, Sudan’s government said, the latest assistance from the kingdom since the North African nation’s army ousted long-time leader Omar al-Bashir in April.

The Saudi Fund for Development will provide the loan, the Finance Ministry said Tuesday in a statement.
