Dear Mr. Assistant Secretary,
Dear Special Envoy to Sudan,
In December 2018, protests broke out throughout Sudan calling for dictator President Omar al-Bashir, in power for nearly 30 years, to step down. Al-Bashir was removed from power on April 11, and replaced by a Transitional Military Council (TMC), now controlled by Lt. General Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan and Lt. General Mohamed Hamdan, known as Hemeti. Hemeti is the leader of the Rapid Support Forces, which grew out of the notorious Janjaweed militia responsible for the Darfur genocide, where more than 500,000 people died.
The Chief Justice of Sudan does not stand at a distance from everyone!
Mr. Omar Hassan Ahmed Al-Bashir, President of Sudan ..
In your speech to the nation on the evening of Friday, February 22, 2019, you said: “I renew the pledge to stand in a national platform, the Presidency of the Republic, to take care of this process, to be at an equal distance from all, supporters and opponents.”
رئيس القضاء في السودان لا يقف على مسافة واحدة من الجميع
في الخطاب الذي ألقيته للأمة السودانية في مساء الجمعة 22 فبراير 2019، سيادتك قلت بالحرف الواحد: “أُجدد العهد بأن أقف في منصةٍ قومية، وهي رئاسة الجمهورية، لرعاية هذه العملية، لأكون على مسافةٍ واحدة من الجميع، موالين ومعارضين”.
