SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Guardian – The Observer view on the crisis in Sudan

9/6/19: Guardian – The Observer view on the crisis in Sudan

 The editors of the Guardian’s Sunday edition, The Observer, call for the world to pay attention to Sudan following the brutal crackdown on protesters.

 Arguing that Himedti, Al Burhan and “other relics of Bashir’s regime” are guilty of premeditated murder, the Observer’s editors call for an independent inquiry to establish their innocence or otherwise.

 The Observer’s editors also state that the Declaration of Freedom and Change’s demand for a transitional civilian-led authority “must be honoured without delay.”

 The editorial concludes with calls on the international community to pressure the military if “lawless paramilitaries roam the streets,” with the military’s “main backers and paymasters – Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt” called upon to “rein in their vicious charges…before more bodies come floating down the Nile.”
