SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Eastern Sudanese Nazir: Clashes are not tribal

21/8/2020: Radio Dabanga - Eastern Sudanese Nazir: Clashes are not tribal

 Radio Dabanga reports that the Nazir of Hadendawa tribe, Sayed Tirik, says the recent clashes in various parts in eastern Sudan are not tribal.

 Tirik said “we know who is leading the war…[it is] a conspiracy led by some politicians who do not care about the stability of the East and do not care about the lives and property of innocent people”.

 Tirik re-iterated calls for Saleh Ammar to resign from civilian governor of Kassala to “save the government from embarrassment,” adding that Kassala has unique specifications for a governor as it is a border state challenged by insecurity, human trafficking, and smuggling.

 Tirik also called for  a comprehensive conference to be organised by eastern Sudanese locals.

 The spokesperson for the Beja High Council, Abdallah Obashar, criticised “the intransigence of the FFC regarding the new governor”.
