Sudan's former president Omar al-Bashir moved to military hospital in Khartoum
Omar al-Bashir has been transferred to a military hospital in Khartoum, as his lawyer and family urge urgent medical treatment abroad due to his critical condition.
Former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has been moved to a military hospital in Khartoum, as his legal representatives and family plead for urgent medical care overseas due to his grave condition. The 82-year-old leader was transferred to Khartoum for diagnostic tests and treatment, according to his lawyer Mohamed al-Hassan al-Amin.
Al-Amin informed Reuters that Bashir's symptoms necessitate both diagnosis and care outside Sudan. Previously, Bashir had been moved from prison to a hospital before the outbreak of conflict in Sudan. Upon the eruption of fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, he was relocated to the northern city of Merowe and placed under military guard.
In a statement released on Monday, Bashir's family emphasized the need for medical treatment outside Sudan, stating that urgent care cannot be postponed.
