[TRANSLATED] SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Al-Jareeda – Sudan’s sovereignty is [up for grabs]

15/8/2020: Al-Jareeda – Sudan’s sovereignty is [up for grabs], by Hanadi Siddig

Journalist Hanadi Siddiq calls for Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok to educate Sudanese citizens about events in Port Sudan, warning that eastern Sudan may “turn into another Darfur.”

 Siddiq attributes the violence in Port Sudan to the “hands of foreign intelligence services,” adding that Hamdok’s government has failed to address a root cause of the conflict – that “most foreigners who live in eastern Sudan by granted citizenship by al-Bashir’s regime.”

 Siddiq further suggests that officials within Sudan’s security apparatus are aware of this, and are implementing the agenda of foreign intelligence services through their relations with selected tribes that are fuelling the conflict.
