Are the published fares for Sudan now in USD?

(I can only see such fares by using the KVS tools, and in that I must specify which currency I want the tool to use. AFAIK there is no way to get KVS to show the 'base' currency)

None show on EF now.

You can see the original filed currency by requesting the Routing Rules in the KVS Tool:

Thank you KVS

So it's confirmed - the currency of the ex-Sudan Oneworld Explorer is now USD:(

So for countries that do not have a local currency fare (for example Sth America and some African countries where the fares are published in USD), the conversion does not take place?
And for such fares, the issue of the fare perhaps being lower than in the country of sale does not arise?

That's how it reads to me, but of course that can't be how the good folks at the Tariff Desk will see it.
