Sudan’s Ousted President Bashir Sent to Khartoum for Treatment, Lawyer Says
Bashir’s family said his treatment outside Sudan has become critical and urgent, while his lawyer said doctors need tests to diagnose his condition.
- On Thursday, Ousted Sudanese President Omar was transferred from Merowe to a hospital in Khartoum for medical tests, lawyer Mohamed Alhassan Alameen said. He requires care for an "unknown" medical condition.
- During Bashir's three decades in power, Sudan faced wide-ranging sanctions. Protesters accused him and the Islamist National Congress Party of corruption before his 2019 ouster following a popular uprising.
- In a statement on Wednesday, Bashir's family said his need for medical treatment outside Sudan "has become critical and urgent, and cannot be delayed any longer," though they lack official permission.
- Bashir remains wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges including genocide, while the Rapid Support Forces continue fighting a civil war that has devastated Sudan over three-and-a-half years.
- Any move to send Bashir abroad would likely cause discord within Sudan and draw international condemnation, as he faces open legal cases domestically. Sudan's military did not respond to a request for comment.
