Saudi Arabia’s violent attack on Hamdok

Saudi social media and Saudi activists launched a broad attack on the Head of the Coordination of Civil Democratic Forces (Taqaddum), Abdullah Hamdok, because of his inclusion of Saudi Arabia in the list of countries fueling the conflict in Sudan.

In a television interview, Hamdok failed to exonerate the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from its support for the insurgent Rapid Support Forces (RSF)militia, when the broadcaster confronted him with evidence and UN reports proving Abu Dhabi’s support for the outlaw RSF militia. Instead of acknowledging this, Hamdok shuffled the cards and included “Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran and Russia” among the countries he said were fueling the conflict in Sudan. “I tell these countries to stop fueling the war,” he added.

Saudi writer and activist Abdul-Aziz Al-Jabra said, in response to Hamdok’s statements, that Saudi Arabia has never been a party to fueling the war, but rather was and still is a peace mediator.

The writer called on “Taqaddum” to prevent Hamdok from making statements to the media when he is drunk.

Saudi platforms on Twitter attacked Abdullah Hamdok, considering his efforts to involve Saudi Arabia in the war in Sudan an attempt to distract attention from the UAE, the main supporter of Hamdok’s allies, according to reliable UN reports.
