SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - SPA: ‘Structural changes needed for Sudan’s police and security services’

5/1/2020: Radio Dabanga - SPA: ‘Structural changes needed for Sudan’s police and security services’

Radio Dabanga reports that the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) has called for structural changes in the administrative structures of the police and security services to avoid further violence.

In a statement, the SPA urged the transitional government to “take serious steps to resolve this insecurity situation”, and change the chief of police, heads of departments, and public administrations, and “replace them with those who believe in change and freedom”.

The SPA said that the violence and insecurity the country has recently witnessed are “well organised acts rather than coincidences.”

The SPA also holds members of the security service, the police, and other law enforcement forces responsible regarding the deterioration of the security in the country, citing their obligations “to protect and to provide security across Sudan.”
