Zionist Delegation Visited Sudan in Midst of Coup

KHARTOUM (Dispatches) – A delegation from the Zionist regime, including members of the Mossad spy agency, visited Sudan last week as the country was in the grip of unrest prompted by a military coup, according to Zionist regime and Sudanese media.
According to senior Zionist officials speaking to the Walla news site, the delegation met with Sudanese military officials in the capital Khartoum, including the brother of General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (known popularly as Hemeti).
Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo is deputy head of the Rapid Support Forces under the leadership of his brother Hemeti.
The organization has been accused of numerous human rights abuses and crackdowns against pro-democracy protesters and was involved in the coup that seized power last Monday.
Dagalo was also part of a delegation that visited the Israeli-occupied territories last month, prior to the military takeover, which has spawned widespread demonstrations calling for civilian rule.
Officials told Walla that although the Sudanese delegation made reference to political instability in the country during the Zionist delegation’s visit, no reference was made to the upcoming coup.
The occupying regime and Sudan announced the establishment of formal bilateral ties for the first time in October 2020.
It became the sixth Arab country, after Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco, to normalize ties with the occupying regime.
However, there are long thought to have been tensions over Zionist-Sudan relations between the civilian and military wings of the government that has ruled the country since the overthrow of long-time ruler Omar al-Bashir in April 2019.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who led last Monday’s takeover, had frequently met with Zionist officials and was reportedly enthusiastic for increasing ties with the occupying regime - something which former U.S. president Donald Trump made a prerequisite of removing the country from its state sponsors of terror list.
