3/6/19: Reuters – UK foreign minister condemns Sudan sit-in dispersal

 Reuters reports that UK foreign minister Jeremy Hunt has condemned the violent dispersal of a sit-in protest outside the Sudanese Defence Ministry in Khartoum.

 Hunt tweeted: “Condemn the attack on protestors by Sudanese security forces,” Hunt wrote on Twitter. “This is an outrageous step that will only lead to more polarisation and violence.”

 Hunt added that: “It will not help Sudan build the future the people are demanding. The Military Council bears full responsibility for this action and the international community will hold it to account.”
