AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): As many as 30,000 Sudanese soldiers are fighting alongside the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, said deputy head of Sudan’s ruling military council.
In a public address in Abri on the outskirts of capital Khartoum, Mohamed Hamdan, deputy chairman of Transitional Military Council (TMC), said the Sudanese forces are the biggest among the coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE in Yemen.
"Our ties with Saudi Arabia and the UAE are very strong. For example, we have 30,000 fighters fighting alongside the Arab coalition," said Hamdan, who also leads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.
"Some parties want to sabotage our good ties with Saudi Arabia and the UAE and this is unacceptable," he said, referring to opposition.
Saudi Arabia announced from Washington on 26 March 2015 its aggression against Yemen, and the Sudanese regime participated under Saudi financial promises to target the Yemeni People by sending the Janjawid forces accused of war crimes in Darfur.
The US-Saudi aggression has killed and injured tens of thousands of Yemeni People, as well as causing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in the world because of the siege imposed on Yemen from all sides, under international silence.
