10/12/2019: Reuters – Sudan's Bashir questioned over 1989 coup that brought him to power

Reuters reports that Omar al-Bashir is being questioned over his role in the 1989 coup that brought him to power.

“We believe that this is a political trial par excellence because 30 years have passed and many variables have occurred,” Mohamed al-Hassan al-Amin, a member of Bashir’s defence, told reporters.

“We do not know what happened in the investigation room. We have an agreement with President al-Bashir not to speak with this committee and to boycott it,” Amin added, referring to the investigative committee.
