Sudanese military in Sri Lanka to explore cooperation

Members of Sudan’s military are currently in Sri Lanka to explore training opportunities.

The delegation, led by former secretary general of defence ministry Gen. (Retd) Abdel- Rahman Mohamed Zein, met with defence secretary Gothabaya Rajapakse and discussed joint military cooperation on Monday.

The defence ministry’s website says that the parties discussed areas of mutual interest and bilateral relations at the meeting.

Sudan’s president Omar al-Bashir is accused of committing genocide and is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
