KHARTOUM: Ethiopia’s prime minister held separate talks with Sudan’s military rulers and opposition in Khartoum on Friday in a bid to ease the political crisis that has followed the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir. At Khartoum airport, Abiy was greeted by Lieutenant General Shams El Din Kabbashi, spokesman for Sudan’s ruling Transitional Military Council. Abiy later hosted a meeting at the Ethiopian embassy with the opposition Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces alliance. Five main hospitals had been shut down by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, it said. The military council has said people had put on uniforms of the Rapid Support Forces to impersonate them in an attempt to harm their reputation.
