Sudan’s former President Omar al-Bashir is in the hospital with presumed coronavirus symptoms, according to a report by Sudanese media outlet Dabanga that mentions the country’s Public Prosecution.
The article also states that seven other members of al-Bashir’s regime – who have been arrested in prison alongside al-Bashir since the regime fell in 2019 – are in hospitals in Khartoum as well. Three of them have chronic conditions, three are confirmed COVID-19 cases, and al-Bashir and one other have suspected symptoms, according to Dabanga.
“In a declaration on Wednesday, the Public Prosecutor confirmed that Ahmed Haroun, former Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Governor of North Kordofan, Abdelrahim Hussein, former Minister of Interior, Defence, and Governor of Khartoum, and Ali Osman Taha, former Foreign Affairs Minister and First Vice President, are being treated for Covid-19,” wrote Dabanga.
