Sudan’s PDP party chieftain justifies foreign arms purchase

This week, the leader of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia accused Egypt of supporting its opponent, the Sudanese military. Lieutenant General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemetti, said in a video message that the development marks an escalation of the conflict. Egypt has denied the accusations. Hussein Shingrai is the foreign affairs secretary of the People’s Democratic Party of Sudan. He says Sudan as a sovereign country has the right to buy weapons from wherever it wants. Shingrai tells VOA’s James Butty, Hemetti may be trying to blame his apparent defeat on other countries
