Omdurman — The opposition Reform Now Party (RNP) accused Sudanese security agents of preventing it from holding a discussion forum on Monday, the day after President Omar Al Bashir announced political parties have the freedom to operate.
The RNP said in a press release that National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) agents blocked two of its top leaders and others from entering El Ahlia University in Omdurman to attend the party forum. It was unable to take place, despite obtaining prior permission. Then they attacked and arrested Emad El Dien Hashim, the leader of the party's student wing, according to a AFP report on the party's statement.
