28/10/19: Sudan Tribune - Sudanese Sovereign Council says played honorary role in health campaign

 Sudan Tribune reports that Mohamed al-Faki, the spokesman for Sudan’s Sovereign Council, said their participation in a health campaign organised by the Rapid Support Forces militia (RSF) was honorary, and coordinated with the government.

 Several representatives of the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) at the Sovereign Council including Aisha Musa, Raja Nicola Issa, Hassan Qadi and Mohamed al-Faki participated in the RSF health campaign in Sennar, the Blue Nile states, Red Sea and Kassala.

 Responding to the Sudanese Professionals Association criticism of their participation, al-Faki said that the sovereign council did not infringe of the powers of Health Ministry, as the ministry and the RSF jointly arranged the campaign.

 As for questions as to why Health Minister Akram Al-Tom was absent from the inauguration of the campaign, al-Faki said that al-Tom had “professional commitments.”
