Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood Leads Defamatory Campaigns against Arab Countries… Details
The Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan has launched defamatory campaigns against some Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia.
The Islamic movement, through its journalists and activists on social media over the past two days, has waged campaigns that included insults against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The current government and army have not reacted and have only issued a statement disavowing it by their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to Al-Raquba newspaper.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged journalists and activists affiliated with the former regime to refrain from any act that would harm the symbols and leaders of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Foreign Ministry said yesterday: “During the past few days, we have been following the writings and comments of Sudanese columnists and activists on social media, which deal with Sudanese-Saudi relations in a manner that does not reflect the true position of the Sudanese government and people towards sisterly Saudi Arabia, whether at the level of leadership, government, or people.”
It added: “The Foreign Ministry rejects what has been circulated on social media as serious insults to the Saudi leadership, and a language that does not resemble the etiquette and respect that the Sudanese people are supposed to have towards their brothers, especially Their Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, Kings, Princes, and leaders of brotherly countries.”
The statement further stated: “The ministry urges opinion writers, commentators, and social media activists to refrain from any act that would harm the relations between the two brotherly countries and the symbols and leaders of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as brotherly and friendly countries.”
The Islamic movement, through its journalists and activists, is insulting Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the current government and army are not reacting.
The official page known as Al-Ba’shom, affiliated with the Sudanese army and believed to be run by Sudanese military intelligence, has also attacked Saudi Arabia and its leadership.
Some observers believe that the campaign against Saudi Arabia is aimed at appeasing Tehran, as the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan is negotiating with Iran to obtain weapons and support for the Sudanese army.
