Sudanese men can now get a haircut and a shave at a tiny barber shop named Barack Obama in tribute to the man being sworn in as US president on Tuesday, despite strained ties between Khartoum and Washington.
A huge portrait of Obama with his name written in Arabic has been propped up outside the barber shop in north Khartoum's Markizi, or central, market.

"I opened the shop just before the US presidential election in November but I waited for Obama's victory before naming it after the president-elect," barber shop owner Muntasser Jacob told AFP.
