26/1/2020: Sudan Tribune - Ousted regime plans to sabotage Sudan’s oil facilities

Sudan Tribune reports that Hamid Suleiman, the undersecretary for the Sudanese Ministry of Energy and Mining, said that elements of Omar al-Bashir’s regime planned to sabotage oil fields in East Darfur and West Kordofan states, “to damage oil production areas by causing a rift between the local tribe.”

Suleiman added that the transitional government has taken the preventative measures, with a security committee consisted of the Sudan Armed Forces, the Central Reserve Forces, the police and the General Intelligence Service monitoring and inspecting the oil facilities to avoid sabotage attempts.

The committee recently deployed additional forces to the oilfields Suleiman added.
