| Palestinians urge Sudan to hand over confiscated assets | ||
| 2021-09-26 | ||
Sudan was long an ally of Hamas under former President Omar al-Bashir but since he was overthrown in 2019, Sudanese authorities have taken control of investments and companies they say channeled funding to the Islamist group for years. "We hope that the state of #Sudan, which has always been a supporter (people and a government) to #Palestine, to hand over the movable and immovable funds that were confiscated to the State of Palestine and its Government," Hussein Al-Sheikh, a senior Palestinian official close to President Mahmoud Abbas, said on Twitter. Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk accused Sheikh of "fishing in troubled waters." "What happened in #Sudan is a conflict between the civilian and military parts in #Hamdok's government to win US support. A cheap game using the name of the movement as a slander," wrote Abu Marzouk on his Twitter account late on Saturday. In Khartoum, a senior official in the taskforce overseeing government-led asset seizures did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
