Sudanese efforts to end acts of violence

The Sudanese Cabinet on Monday gave its directions to the specialized security sides to take decisive action guaranteeing security and stability and the safety of citizens and their properties as well as to halt the acts of violence taking place in several Sudanese provinces.

In a meeting it held on Sunday chaired by the Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, the Cabinet was assured the need for these steps taken to withstand the acts of riots in the cities of al-Fasher, Port Sudan and many others.

To this effect, the Sudanese minister of information Ghazi Salah Eddine who is also the spokesman for the Sudanese government stressed in statements issued by the Lebanese dailies on Monday that the government has taken legal measures against those who took part in the riot and destruction acts that took place recently.

Minister Salah Eddine denied these acts have caused any sort of security tension in the country and described these incidents as " limited and were controlled." In this regard, the Sudanese official daily al-Anbaa said that some 56 persons were arrested under certain criminal accusations, following the recent incidents.
