Khartoum, Jan 28, 2020 – Dozens of Sudanese protested Tuesday in Khartoum, alleging that their relatives had been recruited by a UAE firm as security guards but were dispatched to war-zones in Libya and Yemen. Men and women carrying banners that read “Our sons are nor for sale” and “Bring back our sons” demonstrated outside Sudan’s foreign ministry in central Khartoum. “My brother travelled to UAE on August 20 but six days ago we lost contact with him,” said Salma Mohamed, one of the demonstrators. “We saw on social media that he and others had been taken to Libya or Yemen. “My son travelled in September to UAE but 10 days ago we lost contact with him,” Osman said.
