The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its regret at the decision of the assistants of the military attaché at the embassy in London to apply for political asylum in Britain.
The Sudan Tribune Agency indicated that the assistants of the military attaché at the embassy stirred controversy in the country after applying for political asylum, in light of the transitional government that guaranteed general and political freedoms.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry clarified that after the end of the term of two assistants of the military attaché last August, they settled their dues and received return tickets to Sudan, however, they declared their refusal to return the country and their intention to seek political asylum.
The German news agency (DPA) reported the statement, which included the Ministry’s regret that the aforementioned assistants made their own personal decision without any regard of the general considerations related to the official duties they were performing.
The Ministry affirmed that it will work to ensure that all employees adhere to the relevant regulations, measures, and considerations, denying any other embassy employees applying for political asylum and affirming that all diplomatic employees are performing their duties.
