Sudan's pro-democracy leader slams Burhan's warning to new UN envoy
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Yasir Arman, a prominent figure of Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
’s pro-democracy coalition Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), has criticized the stern message delivered by the head of the Sovereign Council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, to the newly appointed UN envoy to Sudan, Ramtane Lamamra.

"Is it reasonable to threaten the envoy of the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Secretary-General, Ramtane Lamamra, before he even sets foot on Sudanese soil and before he has had a chance to meet with the concerned parties?" Arman wrote on social media hours after al-Burhan’s statement on Sunday.

In his Saturday remarks, al-Burhan had welcomed Lamamra’s appointment but cautioned that he might face the same fate as his predecessor, Volker Perthes, if he were to take sides with any particular faction or group.

"We do not want an envoy who sides with a faction or group, otherwise, his fate will be like Volker Perthes. Rather, we want a neutral mission that contributes to the stability, security and unity of Sudan," al-Burhan said in Madani, Al Jazirah State.

Arman countered that using threatening language is counterproductive, emphasizing that Lamamra, an Algerian diplomat, brings both Algerian and African perspectives to the role.

In a separate post, Arman compared the approach adopted by the "National Committee for Dealing with the United Nations," headed by Sovereign Council member Lieutenant General Ibrahim Jabir, to that of "the remnants of the ousted regime" in dealing with the UN and the international community.

#1 Interesting. The Sudan chief of state has fled Khartoum for Wad Medani, down the Blue Nile and a good distance from the capital. The once huge Sudan nation is now close to dissolution.
