Sudan’s warring generals make their appeals
In this photo provided by Egypt’s presidency media office, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, right, meets with Sudan’s army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan at the Presidential palace in el-Alamein city, Egypt, Aug. 29, 2023.
Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, leaders of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, proposed a plan for the kind of democratic government he’s undermined in the past. Meanwhile, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who leads Sudan’s national military, is headed to Egypt and Saudi Arabia for talks. And, disturbing video published on Tuesday by The Guardian newspaper shows the dire conditions of people staying in one of Libya’s migrant detention centers. Also, at least seven people are dead in Haiti after a pastor leading a protest marched through a gang-controlled suburb of the capital. Human rights groups are blaming the pastor for taking protesters into such a dangerous situation and the police for not preventing it from happening. Plus, how do you weigh an ant?
