3/11/19: Sudan Tribune - UAE refutes claims of seeking to obstruct democratic reforms in Sudan

 Sudan Tribune reports that UAE foreign minister Anwar Gargash has rejected accusations made by the Sudanese Communist Party that the UAE and Saudi Arabia is trying to abort the Sudanese revolution.

 Communist Party secretary-general Mohamed Mukhtar al-Khatib alleged that the UAE and Saudi Arabia are in contact with prominent leaders of the Forces of Freedom and Change coalition, and that they are “terrified” of radical change in Sudan, lest it inspire internal revolts in their own countries.

 However, Gargash refuted the allegations by saying that al-Khatib’s “regrettable” comments failed to comprehend the UAE and Saudi role in supporting stability in Sudan. Gargash added that the statements “come from the ideological conceptions” of the Communist Party.
