Sudan protests in front of Egypt embassy against Sisi’s interference in country’s affairs

Hundreds of Sudanese marched on Thursday from the sit-in square in front of the army headquarters to the Cairo embassy in Khartoum, condemning what they called Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi’s “interference” in the Sudanese issue.

Witnesses said that the participants in the march chanted slogans, such as “Tell Al-Sisi this is Sudan, your borders are just (until) Aswan,” referring to the border between the two countries.

According to an eyewitness, hundreds marched through Al-Gomhouria Street, one of the main streets in central Khartoum, on their way to the embassy, ​​chanting against Al-Sisi interference.
