SUDAN SACKS SPOKESMAN OVER ISRAEL REMARKS

By : Mohamed Ali fazari
Sudan’s Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday it was astonished by remarks made by its own spokesman in which he said Khartoum had “contacts” with Israel, stressing that the government had not discussed the possibility of diplomatic relations.
Haydar Sadig, the ministry’s spokesman, made the comment to Reuters earlier in the day and praised the United Arab Emirates’ decision to normalise relations with Israel as “a brave and bold step”. He was confirming remarks made earlier to regional media.
Sudan has fired the country’s foreign ministry spokesman over his recent remarks about normalizing relations with Israel.
“I received a notice about dismissing me from my position,” Haidar Badawi told local media
The former diplomat confirmed the authenticity of a message from him to President of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan and Prime Minister Abdulla Madok.
“I say to the two presidents al-Burhan and Hamdok; respect your people and let them know what is going on in secret regarding relations with Israel,” reads the message as published by Sudanese media.
