The leading figure at the Reform Now Movement (RNM) and member of the parliament Hassan Osman Rizq called to end the presence of the Sudanese troops in Yemen.
The Sudanese Mp said during the deliberations on the Prime Minister’s speech in the National Assembly,the armed forces must come out of Yemen”, pointing that “many disadvantages are emerging due the participation in this war”.
“If we entered the war for the sake of our friendly relations with Saudi Arabia, it doesn’t need that because Saudi Arabia has many friendly countries that didn’t enter the war to fight alongside it,” he said.
“And if we entered the war to restore the legitimacy, that should be determined by the Yemenis because we wouldn’t allow [foreign countries] to decide on our legitimacy and if we entered the war for the sake of Mecca and Medina, there is no war in the two cities,” he added.
In May, Sudanese military sources dismissed media reports that 80 Sudanese troops have been killed in Yemen saying only 21 were killed, including 4 officers.
