Sudan's former Pres. Omar al-Bashir was seen in public on Sunday for the first time since his ouster, as he was led away to a prosecutor's office.
Sudan's former President Omar al-Bashir appeared in public for the first time since his ouster two months ago, as he was led to a prosecutor's office Sunday in a corruption investigation.
He said the probe partly related to millions of dollars' worth of cash in U.S. dollars, euros and Sudanese pounds that were found in al-Bashir's home a week after his ouster. On Sunday, al-Bashir was led from prison to a Toyota Land Cruiser, wearing a traditional white robe and turban. Meanwhile, the deputy head of Sudan's ruling military council pushed back Sunday against demands from protest leaders concerning the composition of a transitional legislative body.
Dagalo also said those responsible for the bloody break-up of the protesters' sit-in outside the military's headquarters in Khartoum on June 3 would be given the death sentence.The ruling generals have said several military officers are in custody for alleged"deviation" from the action plan set by their leaders to clear a problematic area, known as Colombia, near the sit-in area.
