Sudan: Solidarity liberates Communist Party HQ in Khartoum

THE Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) hailed a victory for international solidarity yesterday after a siege of its offices in Khartoum ended in the afternoon.

SCP central committee secretary Fathi el-Fadl said troops and police had pulled back after surrounding the building in the morning.

Security forces appeared two hours after the party leadership presented a memorandum to President Omar al-Bashir’s government demanding its dissolution, three days into a general strike and protests over cuts to heating fuel and food subsidies.
