DOHA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 11th April, 2019) The speaker of the Sudanese parliament, Ibrahim Ahmed Omer Ahmed, who is paying a visit to Qatar, has no intention of delaying his return to Khartoum despite media reports indicating a possible military coup in the country, a source in the Sudanese embassy in Qatar told Sputnik on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, media reported that the Sudanese military had decided to remove long-time President Omar Bashir from power and dismiss his government amid ongoing anti-government rallies in Khartoum. A source in the military told Sputnik that the Armed Forces would announce the creation of a new military-led body in the near future.
"Of course he is going back. His flight to Sudan is scheduled for early Friday morning. He is the head of the legislature, he will return to Khartoum where he will possibly await new parliamentary elections," the source said.
According to the source, the events in Sudan are an attempt to take under control the security situation in the country.
No official confirmations about Bashir's dismissal have been made available so far.
