Sudanese gov’t plans to withdraw its troops from Yemen after killing 4,000 soldiers

SANAA, Dec. 6 (YPA) – The Sudanese government has affirmed its intention to withdraw its troops from Yemen after killing 4,000 soldiers, according to a London-based Middle East Eye report.

“Sudan’s new Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said that his country’s participation in the Saudi-led coalition’s war on Yemen aimed at helping the Yemeni parties for reaching a political solution of the Yemeni crisis,” the report added.

He affirmed in a speech to the Atlantic Council in Washington, that the conflict in Yemen doesn’t have a military solution, and the crisis in Yemen must be achieved by political means.

Sudan has sent thousands of its soldiers to take part in the coalition to fight against the Yemeni people and its sovereignty for nearly five years in a flagrant violation of the international law.

Separately, Yemen’s Army Spokesman Yahya Seria revealed last month in a news conference that more than 4,000 Sudanese fighters have been killed in the war on Yemen since 2015.
