SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga – Red Sea ports closed – resistance to eastern Sudan track in peace accord grows
Radio Dabanga report that protesters demonstrated against the Juba peace agreement in the Red Sea state, east Sudan.
The Bashayer Port for oil export joined the southern Port Sudan harbour, and the ports of Suakin, Heidob, and Demadema on the list of closed ports.
The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) in Red Sea state said in a statement that what is happening in eastern Sudan is the result of the accumulation of grievances in the region, “which requires our government to rethink its policies concerning the region’s issues”.
The FFC statement called for the acceleration of the convening of a consultative forum for the eastern Sudanese, where the political and civilian forces in the region are able to discuss practical and scientific proposals for solution of the contentious issues and peaceful coexistence in the region.
